What else conceals the depths of the exposition besides the paintings? The sculptures of Christian Erickson and the wooden figures of Axel Peterson, as well as the posthumous mask of Nietzsche - the highlight of the collection, located in a tall tower. By the way, the banker had a refined taste, translated the same Nietzsche into his native language, wrote memoirs and wrote poems. But his first painting, Liljefors' Morning At Sea, was acquired in 1986.

Having gotten so far from the heart of Stockholm, do not be lazy to stroll around the park of Djurgården - here you can enjoy not only charming idyllic landscapes for birdsong, but also beautiful a cup of coffee in local restaurants

The most inquisitive will be rewarded with Auguste Rodin's sculpture "Shadow", which lurked among the green foliage of the park. Underneath it there is a burial urn with the ashes of a banker, a collector, a great admirer of art and just a man with a good taste of Ernest Til
