Peter recommended three places Sculpture Vultures would enjoy visiting in Sweden and Denmark
Pilane Sculpture Park — A private sculpture park on the island of Tjörn, near where Peter lives. You pay an entry fee, and it features artists from all over the world in a beautiful natural outdoor setting at a high artistic level.
Carl Eldh's Studio in Stockholm — The studio of 19th-century sculptor Carl Eldh, described as spectacular, with a huge window that curves up into the roof, filled with plaster casts and bronzes.
He also threw in a bonus tip just across the border: the Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark — a stunning collection in a beautiful building in the city centre, donated by the Carlsberg family.
