This is the first museum I’ve visited since moving to Copenhagen, and it was definitely a good one to start with. It features the personal collection of Carl Jacobsen (son of Carlsberg Breweries’ founder) and contains a large selection of ancient Mediterranean sculptures, as well as French impressionist paintings. The building itself is quite lovely. It’s got a lush tropical indoor courtyard, for one, and lots of skylights leading the way up to a rooftop terrace with an entertaining view of Tivoli amusement park rollercoasters (you can see people getting flung in all directions).






Also, in case any of you plan a trip to Copenhagen or this museum in the future – it seems like there is free entry on Tuesdays so you may want to double check for that 🙂
Beautiful place. Would love to visit sometime

The photos make us participate in your walk. They are spectacular and show the beauty of the sculptures, the flowers and the city. A pleasant sight to behold.
Good for you that you have been able to enjoy it in person. My greetings
Manuel

This is one of my favourite museums. We had a great (very different!) vegetarian lunch here off the courtyard. There was a great temporary exhibit about Palmyre but I really enjoyed the classical marble sculptures. What a collection! Oh…and I did go on a Tuesday only to discover it was free! 😃

Beautiful museum. 🙂
Carlsberg Beer was at one time sold in Canada.
I remember their TV commercials that had the slogan, “Carlsberg… the glorious beer of Copenhagen.”
