On the island of Lingingo, northeast of Stockholm, is the former villa and sculpture garden of Carl Milles, the country's foremost sculptor. Although it takes time to reach the villa, it is worth the trip. Some of the artist's most important works are found here, including his monumental and much-reproduced sculpture Hands of God. Sculptures sit atop columns on terraces in this garden of almost magical proportions set high above the harbor and the city landscape. The site also includes his personal collection of works by other leading sculptors. The villa displays a unique collection of art from both the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, plus rare artifacts excavated in the ruins of ancient Rome and Greece.
