To be honest, the idea to go to this park of the famous Swedish sculptor did not come to me right away. But when she had already arrived, she raised the question of why I had not guessed about this before. The park combines everything that this wonderful city can give. First of all, this is a park divided into several terraces with flower beds and fountains immersed in greenery. Secondly, it is an oasis for lovers of sculptural ensembles in the open air. And thirdly, this is a place for cultural enlightenment, offering a collection of antiques and an art gallery from the menu. How could you not go. Such a bunch of interesting things looked attractive and promised to be a reasonable investment of 100 crowns, which were confiscated there at the entrance. The winter work schedule advertised closing at 17.00, so I easily included a visit to the park in my cultural program. I will be frank from the very beginning, I did not get into the park.
I myself feel how my ears are pressed to the ground, and my hands are crying out to the injustice of the world order, amplifying the already emotional cry of despair “For what! ". Despite all my efforts to see everything at once, I got to the park half an hour before closing. The maps of the area known to me usually leave such sections of the city behind the fields of cartography and for free improvisation by travelers. Therefore, even such a desperate master of the pedals as I did not always turn them in the right direction. Upon arrival, after a short briefing at the entrance with the cashier, I realized that during these half an hour I would only have time to prepare for a meeting with the great, but I would hardly have time to see the third part. Having received an invitation to come back again, with him I took away a hint on how to take a look at the park with one eye.
If you return the course of events 5 minutes ago (or just go back 100 meters of the road), then I could not help but notice the entrance to some cafe that I slipped past. This very "some kind of cafe" was a bistro assigned to this park and undertaking to feed and water all visitors. Going to its summer terrace, one could see a part of the park, although not quite large. At least this was enough to form a general picture, as well as write down the date of the future visit in the planner. The works of the famous master Karl Mills are scattered all over the world, which is why it will be so nice to see them all in one park. There are about 200 sculptures in his collection, among which are the famous “Girl with a Falling Leaf” and “Poseidon”, which I saw with my own eyes in the original in Gothenburg. To get to the museum, you need to leave the central streets of Stockholm and move to the neighboring island of Lidingo.
For reference, take Tallink or Silja Line ferry terminal, where ferries arrive from Riga and St. Petersburg. From there you will see the bridge. At the end of the bridge, the only true path to the right will take you straight to the master's residence. If you arrived by ferry and brought binoculars with you, then you can look at the park directly from the terminal. But up close, I think he looks much more attractive.
