King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden visited the exhibition "The Garden: Six Centuries of Art and Nature" at the National Museum in Stockholm. The exhibition displays roughly 300 art and craft objects - paintings, drawings, sculpture and crafts. Most of the objects are from the National Museum's collections. Among the artists are Rembrandt, Watteau, Le Nôtre, Monet, Renoir and Carl Larsson.
The exhibition is about how mythical and real gardens have been depicted in art, but also about how art has left its mark on gardens, from the Middle Ages until today. Contemporary artists such as Peter Frie and Emma Helle are also involved in the exhibition.
