EDITORS COMMENTS
"Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek: A Family's Legacy of Art and Culture in Copenhagen, Denmark Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, located in the heart of Copenhagen, Denmark, is a remarkable art museum that showcases an impressive collection built around the personal holdings of Carl Jacobsen (1842-1914). The son of the founder of the renowned Carlsberg Breweries, Jacobsen's passion for art led him to amass an extensive collection of ancient and modern sculptures, as well as a significant number of paintings and graphic works. Established in 1889, the museum was initially housed in the former stables of Carlsberg's mansion, Frederiksberg Palace. The collection was later moved to its current location, a stunning Neoclassical building designed by the architect Vilhelm Dahlerup, in 1906. The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek's collection spans various periods and cultures, from ancient Greece and Rome to the modern era. Highlights include works by renowned artists such as Rodin, Degas, and Picasso, as well as an extensive collection of Danish art. The museum's name, "Glyptotek," derives from the Greek word "glyptos," meaning "carved," reflecting the museum's focus on sculpture. The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek continues to be a significant cultural institution in Denmark, attracting visitors from around the world to explore its rich and diverse collection."
