Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek (Copenhagen)

Opened by Carl Jacobsen, son of the founder of the Carlsberg Brewery, to give more people the chance to see classical art. Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek is housed in a magnificent Neoclassical building, the Glyptotck is best-known for its exquisite antiquities, in particular a collection of Etruscan art and what is claimed to be Europe's finest collection of Roman portraits.

The main building's collections are completed with Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and French sculpture and works from the "Golden Age" of Danish painting (1800-1850). A modern wing, designed by acclaimed Danish architect Henning Larsen, contains Impressionist paintings by Monet, Sisley, Pissarro, and works by David and Bonnard.
