"Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek displays ancient and modern art in truly unique surroundings. Founded in 1897 by brewer Carl Jacobsen, the gallery is renowned for its marble sculptures and winter garden.
Step inside and discover a beautiful building with high ceilings and a showstopping centrepiece winter garden full of palm trees surrounding a fountain and pond.
The Collections
The gallery is divided into ancient and modern collections. The Department of Antiquities houses excellent collections of Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan and Roman art, providing a delightful journey through 3500 years of art and history. Stroll the hallways lined with marble statues, and you can imagine yourself in Ancient Greece, Egypt or Rome.
The Modern Department focuses on Danish painting and sculpture of the 19th and 20th centuries and French art of the same period. Enjoy paintings from Denmark’s awe-inspiring Golden Age, and experience French Impressionism as well as more than 40 works by Gauguin. It is also possible to see the complete series of Degas’ bronzes and 35 sculptures by Rodin.
Special exhibitions
The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek often holds special exhibitions which are presented as an integrated part of the museum experience. These exhibitions may require that certain works in the permanent collection, ordinarily accessible to the public, will not be on display. We recommend checking the website for information on exhibitions and current events before your visit.
In the beautiful and spacious Winter Garden, you can take a breather and refresh yourself at Café Picnic where you can enjoy a piece of cake, a light lunch, or maybe just a coffee in the peaceful surroundings. The gallery also has a small bookshop and souvenir shop. "

"My favourite spot in Copenhagen!!
Glyptoteket is a time pocket in the heart of Copenhagen with a collection of over 10.000 works of art and archaeological objects (such as Roman & Greek sculptures, mummies, French paintings and Danish Golden Age Art) as well as a botanical garden.
The New Carlsberg Glyptotek was founded by brewer Carl Jacobsen, who was a passionate collector. With the profits from his brewery (Carlsberg), he created a unique collection of art and cultural objects, and in 1897, he opened its doors to the public.
The museum is designed to give every visitor the opportunity to disconnect from everyday life and bring calm - and I promise it lives up to this🍀
Good to know:
🚶🏻♀️750m walk from the Central station (Search for Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek)
🎟️Entrance €17 (under 27 yr €13)
On the last Wednesday of every month, admission to the entire museum is free.
⏱️10am - 5pm tue to sun (closed on mondays)
I recommend visiting as early as possible during weekdays as the museum can get quite busy
🎒You’re not allowed to bring larger bags with you around the museum (as it’s easy to bump into a sculpture or painting) but there’s a cloakroom with lockers you can use. You need a Danish 20 DKK coin (or you can rent a token) for the lockers.
☕You can grab lunch or coffee at Cafe Picnic by the garden.
🎠Right next to Glyptoteket is Tivoli Amusement Park
