200-year-old marble parts from a royal art museum that never came to be are included in the Polish artist Monika Sosnowska's sculpture for Princess Estelle's sculpture park on Djurgården in Stockholm.
The five-meter-high sculpture is called "Museum" and is inspired by Karl XIV Johan's plans for an art museum in Rosendal, which were abandoned after ten years of preparation. Sosnowska has been given permission to use the marble building parts that have since been stored in a warehouse.
Now they will be integrated into a newly made concrete sculpture that will be "open and fragmented", like a museum under construction or in ruins, according to Sara Sandström, operations manager for Princess Estelle's Cultural Foundation.
The sculpture will be inaugurated on June 3.
