This Secret Swedish Museum Will Take Your Breath Away - Ep 1

Fascinating people - artists, writers, scientists, poets, dancers - all have a story that is inspirational. Welcome to the very first Sunday Echo. This week, Jonathan and I visit one of Sweden's most remarkable artistic treasures: Millesgården, the extraordinary home, studio and sculpture garden created by Carl and Olga Milles. Perched on a granite hillside overlooking the Stockholm archipelago, Millesgården is far more than a museum. It is a place where sculpture, gardens, architecture and landscape seem to breathe together. As we wandered through the terraces, fountains and towering bronze figures, I found myself reflecting on creativity, beauty, companionship and the quiet relationship between art and the natural world. In this episode I explore the lives of Carl and Olga Milles, their remarkable artistic partnership, and one of the most moving sculptures I have ever encountered: The Hand of God. If you enjoy thoughtful conversations about art, artists, creativity and the stories behind great works, I would love you to subscribe to Quiet Wonderings.
