The wonderful buildings are filled with atmosphere and every corner offers a new experience. The heart of the museum is the classic 1906 sub-tropical winter garden with tall palm trees, a fountain and a fish pool. The museum was founded by the renowned brewing magnate Carl Jacobsen, who made Carlsberg beer known world wide.Address:Ny Carlsberg GlyptotekDantes Plads 71556 Copenhagen « less

Plan to spend a good few hours at Glytotek so you can fit in a visit to the restaurant for brunch (very yummy!) and sit for a few minutes in the inside garden in the main hall. The statue displays are exquisite.

This places far exceeds most of the best museums of the world. The galleries and architecture are well thought out and display the art well. The collection is incredible and hard to imagine it was assembled by a person.

Visited here on a very wet morning to be greeted by a lovely lady at the front door giving out free carrier bags to put wet brollies in! What a nice thoughtful start. Entrance fee was fair at about £8-9. There was a Degas exhibition at the time we visited - recommend a visit just for that.

If you like the french impressionist painting or sculpture, this is the place. I spent 3 hours here and took 300 pictures. Yes, I said pictures. You can take non flash photos. Do not miss if you like art at all. Even if you don't, the sculpture is mesmerizing.

The entire claim to fame of this museum (and the reason we went) is the French wing with the impressionists and Gaugins. However, this entire collection was "packed" up so they could hold a special exhibition of Degas. It was mildly interesting with info in Danish and English but not as a replacement for the original works we came to... More

Nice collection of sculptures, but I was disappointed that the Impressionists were temporarily unavailable due to an exhibit change. There is more to see here than in some of the other museums we went to, and it's currently free on Sundays.

Walk into the glass domed mini botanical garden, with nice restaurant facing, before entering the nice spacious exhibition rooms.Good collection of Greco-Roman statues, and a reasonable Degas exhibition. Worth a trip onto the roof, to see the Tivoli rides from on high.....
