Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen

This was the first place I visited on my trip to Copenhagen and was absolutely stunning, setting things perfectly for my holiday. The sheer amount of beautiful sculptures to see here and to take in is breathtaking, with very interesting items from ancient Greece and Egypt. Alongside this, there was some amazing contemporary paintings based around the theme of memory which I enjoyed. I would very much recommend going here.

I don't know for others, but for me museums of art must be taken in gradually with enough time to ponder, think and sometimes to consciously dismiss. And there is quite a lot to consciously dismiss here, which is only natural with a collection this huge. But there are also works that are exceptional, very good and interesting. What I'm trying to say is that it would be best to be coming back here for a couple of days. And that the free entrance Tuesdays aren't perhaps the best unless you are on a budget.

This place is the most amazing ever!! Building alone is worth its weight in gold, amazing rotunda and atrium and great skyline rooftop views. We were there for the Pierre Bonnard special exhibit which also happened to be the best art exhibit I’ve ever seen. Truly awe inspiring. Make this a #1 priority for your trip to Copenhagen.

This was one of my favorite experiences in Copenhagen. The museum entrance fee is included in the Copenhagen card, which I highly recommend that you get a soon after you land at the airport (sold right at the information desk before you come out of the airport). The museum is within a beautiful old historic structure, and they have a beautiful collection of Rodin and French sculptures and different impressionist paintings. It is one of the most beautiful museums. They have an extensive collection of sculptures made by Rodin, as well as paintings by Degas and Renoir. There’s also a beautiful section of classical Roman and Greek sculptures. Definitely worth a visit, and it is somewhere where you could easily spend 2 to 3 hours.

Very nice museum! Well laid out. Beautiful in every detail. The Egyptian part is well worth a longer visit. The winter garden is impressive. Very nice staff all through the museum.
