Museum
Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek
Dantes Plads 7, 1556 København
Art museum built from a brewer's private sculpture collection, with a palm-filled glass-domed winter garden and Egyptian mummies below.
This guide to the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen follows Carl Jacobsen, son of the Carlsberg founder, whose falling-out with his father split one brewery into two rival Carlsbergs a short walk apart. It traces how he poured his profits into sculpture instead, filling his home with Roman and Palmyrene antiquities until, in 1882, he began letting strangers wander in to see them. Look up toward the glass dome above the winter garden's palms as you walk through.
