Discover Millesgården – a place where art, history, and nature come together, just a short trip from central Stockholm. Created by the world-renowned sculptor Carl Milles and his wife, the artist Olga Milles, Millesgården offers a unique environment with a sculpture park, artist’s home, and a gallery hosting temporary exhibitions

Millesgården invites you to discover Diana Orving's exhibition Celestial Bodies, the first in the new series &Milles. During Stockholm Art Week, meet the artist Diana Orving for a guided tour of her exhibition in Carl and Olga Milles’ artists’ home at Millesgården.

In the exhibition Celestial Bodies, Diana Orving’s textile sculptures fill the Artist’s Home, where they come into contact with Carl Milles’s world of mythology and astronomy. In the Large Studio – where Milles’s figures seek to hover between heaven and earth – a dialogue opens up between different materials and expressions, between past and present. Just as Milles created works that reach for the sky, Orving’s sculptures occupy the room with a buoyancy that seems to defy gravity. ”… Everything in Orving’s work hovers, rising upwards as it defies gravity, like a dream of suspending death.” – Sara Stidsberg, excerpt from her exhibition text & Milles is a new exhibition series that places the total work of art Millesgården – bequeathed to the Swedish people in 1936 – in active dialogue with the present. Contemporary artists are invited to create site-specific installations in relation to the unique environment, where the Artist’s Home and the surrounding sculpture park can also serve as sources of inspiration. Breakfast will be served before the guided tour. Limited number of places. The guided tour is free of charge but requires registration. Please note that the entrance for this event is located at Carl Milles väg 2.
