Situated high up on Lidingö, Millesgården Museum is located in a terraced sculpture park with fountains, flower gardens, and expansive views. Millesgården was built in 1908 by famous sculptor Carl Milles and his artist wife, Olga Milles, but today it serves as a museum featuring a preserved artist's home, an antique collection, an art gallery with a museum shop, and a restaurant.

Wiener Werkstätte
Vienna around the year 1900 was a creative melting pot, where the composer Gustav Mahler underwent psychoanalysis with Sigmund Freud, and Gustav Klimt's life partner Emilie Flöge founded the fashion house Schwestern Flöge and modeled for his iconic work The Kiss. In this environment, the production cooperative Wiener Werkstätte was founded by architect Josef Hoffmann, artist Koloman Moser, and patron Fritz Waerndorfer in 1903. They questioned the advance of industrialization and sought to elevate the status of the craftsman and the value of craftsmanship. Art and design were to permeate everything from architecture, furniture design, fashion, and jewelry to toys and everyday objects. The philosophy of dissolving the boundary between art and craft also became central in Swedish architecture and design.
