Herman Lindberg was a Swedish physician who donated par🎀t of his Chinese art collection to the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities in Stockholm in 1990. He inherited his love of Chinese art from his father, Gustaf Lindberg (1887-1961). The elder Lindberg, a peer of fellow connoisseurs King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden and Carl Kempe, also wrote on his and Kempe's collections of Chinese ceramics.
