An absolute must-see for anyone even remotely interested in art and architecture. The world-class collection is absolutely breath-taking and presented in a spectacular state-of-the art architecture and display (actually, the floors alone are worth a visit). This museum will be equally enjoyed by neophytes, amateurs and professionals. Information about the exhibits is available in English and gives brief but rigourous... more

Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek houses the sculpture collection of Carl Jaobsen, the founder of the Carlsberg Brewery. The original building has a central courtyard, covered in glass with palms and tinkling fountains. It's a delightful spot and worth the 60krone entrance fee for that alone although there is a good collection of French impressionists as well as hundreds of Greek, Roman... more

I highly recommend the Ny Carlsberg Museum in Copenhagen. Housed in a lovely old building that has been completely modernized inside, its central hall contains a beautiful atrium. Their art collection is impressive and contains our very favorite Van Gogh. If you enjoy antiquities this is the place to go since the Danes were avid explorers/ sailors/conquerors and brought back... more

The New Carlsberg Glyptotek was founded by the brewer Carl Jacobsen late in the 19th century. Jacobsen donated his impressive collection of art, mainly sculpture, to the Danish state and financed building the Glyptotek. The oldest building, which is the one you enter from HC Andersens Boulevard, is from 1898. It is called The Dahlerup-building, named after the architect, Vilhelm... more

The Ny Carlsberg Glypotek is well worth a visit if you are near Tivoli. The museum is housed in a lovely and easily navigated building that was recently renovated. One major collection deals with Mediterranean culture and collections from 6000 B.C. through the end of The Roman Empire(5th century A.D.). The other major collection is of Danish and French paintings... more

We went to the Glyptotek today on Sunday (it's free), and were impressed with its displays. Their collection almost rivals that of the Vatican museum with regards to ancient Egypt, Etruscan and Roman statutes. The section about Danish scultures and paintings was interesting, but a little bit short. Unfortunately the French impressionist section was closed, or else we would surely... more

The art collection of this museum is first class but its staff is not. On three differect occasions (by three different staff members) we can feel they seem particularly unfriendly to foreigners. I have visisted many other museums in Copenhagen but can not share the same experience. more

I was impressed at seeing... more
