Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s the Wings Statue! Right here in front of the Nationalmuseum, this magnificent bronze sculpture by Carl Milles has been captivating viewers since 1911. Officially titled “Vingar,” which translates to “Wings” in Swedish, this artwork is steeped in ancient Greek mythology. The statue depicts the tale of Ganymede, a handsome Trojan prince who caught the eye of Zeus, the king of the gods. Smitten by Ganymede’s beauty, Zeus took the form of an eagle and swooped down to abduct him, carrying him off to Mount Olympus. Milles masterfully captures this dramatic moment in bronze. Notice the powerful eagle, wings outstretched, lifting the youthful Ganymede from the rough boulders below. The sculpture’s dynamism and intricate details make it a true highlight of Stockholm’s public art scene.
