Copenhagen left us a little underwhelmed, but the Glyptotek and Cafe Patina made our overnight trip worthwhile, despite the fact that neither of us are museum lovers. It is actually possible to access the lockers in the Glyptotek without buying a ticket and, if you have a large suitcase, there are some big lockers, so you can dump your bags and look around the museum or even go out and about in Copenhagen. We visited on a dull, December day and the highlight was sitting in the gloaming in the winter garden, as the afternoon drew to a close. It was quite an intimate and special place. The food in the cafe was good too, even having a couple of vegetarian options.

Absolutely recommend visiting the Glyptotek. The time spent: for me it was about 5 hours including having a little lunch at their cafe (menu in the photos). It felt quite magical in some rooms to walk among the roman or Greek sculptures with the beautiful interior. The richness in sculpture exhibitions made the whole experience quite different than most classic art museums around Europe. There were also painting exhibitions in upper floors. I was delighted to see the two paintings by Van Gogh also the Rodin works.

Great museum for sculpture and art. Located in an ornate building with a large glass atrium, we explored several wings filled with art from around the world. We were especially interested in the sculptures and also spent time viewing Danish art. We were there about two hours didn’t have time to see everything, but we’re able to hit the highlights.

We allowed 2 hours to visit this museum, but I think you could at least double that - we seem to have rushed through it due to other things booked in Copenhagen. The exhibits seem endless and so much reading to do ! You need a brain like a sponge to take it all in - the place is vast !

Great collection of Rodin sculptures and Impressionist paintings - and classy cafe in lovely winter gardens setting. (Very tricky to navigate, even with map and friendly staff! But that's a detail.)

Absolutely massive gallery / museum that is stuffed with interesting pieces from all over the world. If you are a lover of Egyptology or Roman artifacts this is the place for you. Ditto if you are into Dutch painting - although strangely nothing by Piet Mondrian that I could see. The French art section is thin, with a few highlights such as the Daumier and Rodin sculpture sor the Manet 'Firing Squad' painting. Definitely worth a look around - although it is a confusing space to navigate and it is easy to get lost.

We stumbled across this museum on our first day in Copenhagen as it was on the route from our hotel into town. We hadn't really picked it as a place to visit on our trip but we were so glad we stopped off as it was the highlight of the trip. The museum is amazing, everything is so well presented that you could just spend hours in there wandering around. Such a huge collection of different and interesting items. The mummies are not to be missed as they are presented like you are travelling into a pyramid (a really nice take on how to display them) and the marble room is a spectacle to behold. The roof top terrace is such a nice find as well. Thoroughly recommend a visit here.

We did not spend enough time here to fully appreciate its extensive collections - we were unfortunately under a tight schedule - so we ended up almost literally running through the Roman, Egyptian and Assyrian sections, all of which merit much more. What struck us most were the collection of the French impressionists and a special exhibit of Valadon. In addition, there is a connection between Gauguin and Copenhagen that is quite interesting (and well documented). And a cafe in the atrium is a great place to stop for a bite and rest a bit.

A wonderful museum space with an interesting collection but needs a lot of work on improving the accessible visit experience. There are lifts throughout the three buildings that make up this museum but no navigable routes, maps or signage that would enable a guest with reduced mobility to navigate the museum without constantly asking staff for help. There are several areas with no other access but stairs. I get that historical buildings are often protected and structural changes limited but it always breaks my heart to realise how the possibility to participate and experience is sacrificed to hundreds of years old aesthetics. Go if you can, enjoy the winter garden, have some refreshments at the cafe and try to navigate to as many places as possible with the baffling brochures at had.

A wonderful visit to the Glyptotek with my family. The indoor garden was amazing and relaxing. The national artworks were lovely. The numerous sculptures were intriguing to view along with the mosaic murals. Worth spending a few hours wandering around to absorb the cultural elements.
