History of Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek

Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, a beloved gem of Copenhagen, first opened its doors in 1897. Its establishment was initiated by the Danish brewer Carl Jacobsen, son of the founder of Carlsberg Breweries, who devoted much of his life and wealth to art and culture. He began his personal collection of sculptures and paintings in the late 19th century, which served as the basis for the museum.

In 1882, Jacobsen donated his vast collection to the Danish state, which led to the construction of the Glyptotek. The museum's name, Glyptotek, originates from the Greek words 'glyphein' (to carve) and 'theke' (a storing place), reflecting its initial emphasis on sculptures. Over the years, the Glyptotek has expanded its collection to include works from across the globe, with a particular focus on ancient Mediterranean cultures and 19th-century Danish and French art. Today, the museum is a hub of culture and learning, attracting art enthusiasts and tourists from all over the world.
