The building with the inner garden is nice and it has a new wing nicely attached to it. Good collection of paintings with choices for everybody. The statues are perfect and give a broad view. More

I was really happy with this visit. I really loved the wide variety of well known masters and was so excited to see Degas little dancer as it was featured with many of his other sculptures. The ancient art collection is quite minimal but I still enjoyed it, there are also some beautiful egyptian sarcophigi to view as well. If... More

Sure the exhibits are nice with a small but decent collection from the "bestsellers": Monet, Manet, Renoir, Picasso, etc. but the best thing about this place is the building itself! Just strolling around is a great experience and I know a lot of people who also deem this the perfect setting for a first date! More

It is worth a visit to go to the Ny Carlsberg Glypotek. The building itself is beautiful with stunning ceilings and the inner garden/cafe is very special and can be seen from each floor. The exhibits were not always clear to find on the plan so take your time. They are not not over-crowded but we would have liked more... More
