Herman Lindberg was a Swedish physician who donated part 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.
