Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek

Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek is a sculpture-focused museum founded by brewer Carl Jacobsen, steps from Tivoli Gardens. It combines grand 19th-century architecture with serene winter gardens and skylit galleries. Highlights include exceptional ancient Mediterranean collections—Egyptian mummies, Greek and Roman marbles—and strong holdings of 19th-century French art, with works by Rodin, Degas, and Gauguin. The compact layout invites unhurried viewing, and the central palm courtyard offers a peaceful pause. Ideal for travelers interested in antiquities and sculpture, or anyone seeking a calm cultural stop near Copenhagen’s city center. Free admission on certain days; check current hours.
