From Wacklepedia - The Free Encyclopedia
The
Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek is an
art museum in
Copenhagen,
Denmark. The collection is built around the personal collection of
Carlsberg Beer founder,
Carl Jacobsen (1842-1914). The museum houses an eclectic mix of antique
sculptures,
Impressionist paintings, Danish art, and various other styles. The
Etruscan collection is one of the most extensive outside
Italy.
Works by impressionists such as Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, Degas, C?anne are all found in the museum. Post-impressionists such as van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec and Bonnard are also represented.
The building housing the collections is often praised in its own right for its elegance, including a sub-tropical winter garden at its centre. It is located across the street from the famous Tivoli Gardens at Dantes Plads 7, 1556 K?enhavn V.
