Fodor's Review:
Among Copenhagen's most important museums -- thanks to its exquisite antiquities and Gauguins and Rodins -- the neoclassical New Carlsberg Museum was donated in 1888 by Carl Jacobsen, son of the founder of the Carlsberg Brewery. Surrounding its lush indoor garden, a series of nooks and chambers houses works by Degas and other impressionists, plus an extensive assemblage of Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and French sculpture, not to mention Europe's finest collection of Roman portraits and the best collection of Etruscan art outside Italy. A modern wing, designed as a three-story treasure chest by the acclaimed Danish architect Henning Larsen, houses an impressive pre-impressionist collection that includes works from the Barbizon school; impressionist paintings, including works by Monet, Alfred Sisley, and Pissarro; and a postimpressionist section, with 50 Gauguin paintings plus 12 of his very rare sculptures. Note that extensive rebuilding of this museum will continue during 2006. Some exhibits remain open. Access to the museum until June 28, 2006, will be via the temporary entrance at Tietgensgade 25.

A great private collection
Posted by 80days from Copenhagen on 6/22/07
The Glyptotek has reopened after a 25 million rebuilding, and is back in business, with classical greek and roman statues, and a sublime collection of french and danish paintings.
Please note that sunday is the only day without entrance fee.
