Millesgården
A terraced sculpture garden on the former home of sculptor Carl Milles, overlooking the bay, with bronze sculptures standing high above the water.
Millesgården is located on Lidingö Island and was the home of Swedish sculptor Carl Milles and his wife. Dozens of Milles's bronze originals and copies are arranged across the seaside terraces. The best-known work is The Hand of God, which stands on a tall column against the sky with striking presence. The site also includes the house, exhibition halls, and a garden café. Admission costs about SEK 170 to 190, subject to the official website. Take the red metro line to Ropsten station, transfer to the Lidingö tram or a bus for about 10 minutes, and then walk a few minutes.
