Carl Milles (1875-1955) is one of Sweden’s most famous sculptors, with works displayed worldwide. 2025 will mark 150 years since his birth, and in connection with this, Millesgården Museum presents the largest solo exhibition on Carl Milles, his works, and his life in modern times.

The exhibition highlights his art and tells the story of his life, from his childhood in Sweden, through turn-of-the-century Paris, to his time as a professor in the USA and his work of art -Millesgården. In addition to showcasing his works, the exhibition provides insight into the person behind the art—Carl Milles, a creative and complex individual with a twinkle in his eye, yet also a man whose work and persona provoke questions and spark discussion. Contemporary voices will offer new perspectives and insights.

Alongside the exhibition, a full-scale model of an original work by Carl Milles, the imaginative Paradise Tree, will be on display.
