Sightseeing Tours
Art tour – Thursday 17 May, 12.00 – 16.00
We start the tour at Millesgården (The Garden of Milles) on Lidingö, the
beautiful residential island immediately outside Stockholm city, which was the
home of the famous sculptor Carl Milles (1875-1955). The artist’s most important
and inspiring works are displayed here. These beautiful garden terraces also
afford a magnificent view over the inlet to Stockholm from the Baltic. Like most
artists, Milles was a collector. His art collection is unique to Sweden and
contains works from ancient Rome and Greece and from European Medieval and
Renaissance art. These are also on display at Millesgården.
Waldemarsudde was originally the home of Prince Eugen, son of Oscar II
(1865-1947), became state-owned after the Prince's death and in accordance with
his will, and is now among the most-visited art museums in Sweden. Prince Eugen
was one of his generation's foremost landscape painters and many of his
best-known works, including Molnet (the Cloud) and Det gamla slottet (The Old
Castle), are part of the collections at Waldemarsudde.The estate is set in
beautiful parkland, featuring centuries-old oak trees. Its situation by the
inlet to Stockholm harbour presents the visitor with stunning views of the
water. The Prince was fond of gardens and the garden at Waldemarsudde, planned
by the owner himself, is well worth a visit.
