Art museum and sculpture garden with fountains and views
"During the first half of the 20th century, the iconic Swedish sculptor Carl Milles (1875-1955) nabbed many coveted public commissions all over the world. He was known for his style of blending Ancient Greek, Roman, and Christian mythology into his work. He used heavy, hard materials such as granite and bronze, and he paired the sculptures with light materials such as water and air by making them the centerpieces of fountains or raising them high up in the sky. Carl Milles died in 1955, and his greatest creation is said to be Millesgården, which he worked on over the span of 50 years."
"▲ Dramatic cliffside museum and grounds featuring works of Sweden's greatest sculptor, Carl Milles." - Rick Steves' Europe
"A sculpture park founded by the late Swedish sculptor Carl Milles and his wife on the site of their former home on a cliff of Lidingö, where classical-style sculptures are displayed in an Italianate garden of terraces, fountains, stairways and columns with sweeping views over the inlet toward central Stockholm. The on-site lanthandel restaurant and café serves Italian-influenced dishes made from seasonal local vegetables." - Richard Orange
