About Millesgården
Located on the island of Lidingö, this site is the former home and studio of the sculptor Carl Milles and his wife. It functions as an art museum and an outdoor sculpture park. Visitors go here to view a collection of large-scale sculptures integrated into a landscaped garden overlooking the water and the city of Stockholm.
Getting There
The museum is situated outside the city center on Lidingö. You can reach it by taking a bus from the central districts or by using a combination of public transport and a short walk. The journey typically takes between 20 and 40 minutes depending on the starting point and traffic.
Visit Duration
Allow approximately 2 to 3 hours to explore the grounds. This provides enough time to walk through the outdoor sculpture park and visit the indoor gallery and studio spaces.
When to Visit
The outdoor gardens are most accessible during the spring, summer, and autumn. During the peak summer months, the site can become crowded with tourists. Visiting during weekday mornings generally offers a quieter experience.
