Step into Copenhagen’s art oasis

Enter Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, a museum built around the extensive art collection of brewer Carl Jacobsen. Your ticket opens a journey through ancient sculpture, Danish art, French Impressionism, and the museum’s distinctive architecture.

Wander through ancient sculpture

Begin with the museum’s collection of ancient Mediterranean art, where marble and bronze sculptures span Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Etruscan cultures. Move between atmospheric galleries and admire works collected across centuries, with plenty to discover at your own pace.

Discover Danish Golden Age art

Continue into galleries dedicated to Danish and Nordic art, including paintings and sculptures from the Danish Golden Age. Take your time comparing grand historical scenes, portraits, and everyday life captured by artists of the period.

Meet the French masters

Explore the French collection for works by artists including Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Cézanne. Allow around 30–45 minutes here to take in the paintings, sculptures, and changing perspectives across the galleries.

Pause beneath the Winter Garden

End your visit in the museum’s iconic Winter Garden, where a glass dome, palms, fountains, and sculptures create a peaceful break between galleries. The museum takes around 2–3 hours to explore comfortably.

Explore the museum at your pace

Your standard entry ticket covers the museum’s permanent collections. Temporary exhibitions or special events may require separate admission when applicable.

Things to know before booking your Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek tickets

  • Booking window: Book the standard Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek admission ticket ahead if you want a fixed visit date, since no alternate same-day or timed-entry products are listed.
  • What’s included: Current inclusions confirm standard museum entry only. The supplied assortment does not list guided tours, audio guides, transport, meal inclusions, or premium-access zones, so book this ticket if straightforward admission is all you need.
  • Entrances & flow: No skip-the-line access, separate entrance, or special routing is confirmed in the inputs. For Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, this means you should expect the regular museum entry flow rather than a priority-access format.
  • Ways to explore: There’s no multi-day, combo, or transfer-based format in the current live lineup. The supplied assortment also does not show language-led formats, so this product suits visitors who want independent, self-paced museum access.
  • Policies & rules: Cancellation terms, re-entry rules, accessibility details, and age-based conditions are not specified in the supplied inputs. Check the final ticket conditions at checkout before paying, especially if flexibility or step-free access affects your decision.

Galleries at Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek

Ancient Egypt

Egyptian antiquities and funerary art

  • Lower-floor galleries gather sarcophagi, reliefs, and bronze figures from pharaonic Egypt in a chronological loop.
  • Visitors usually enter this quieter antiquities zone from the central garden side, then continue toward adjoining Near Eastern and classical displays.

Near East

Mesopotamian and Levantine archaeology

  • Compact rooms between the Egyptian and classical sections present Mesopotamian and Levantine objects, including relief fragments, vessels, and small sculpture.
  • This short detour adds archaeological context before the route opens into the broader Greek and Roman sequence.

Greek and Roman Antiquity

Classical sculpture and portrait collections

  • Marble statues, portrait heads, and mythological figures anchor the museum’s largest antiquities area.
  • Beyond the Near East rooms and along broad corridors in the older building, this route includes works linked to Roman portraiture and classical sculpture.

Etruscan collection

Pre-Roman Italian antiquities

  • Smaller galleries within the antiquities circuit focus on pre-Roman Italy through funerary objects, ceramics, and bronzes.
  • Reached as a side sequence off the main classical halls, they bridge the Egyptian rooms and the later Mediterranean collections.

French sculpture

Nineteenth-century French sculpture

  • Large halls around the Winter Garden display nineteenth-century French sculpture, with works by Rodin, Carpeaux, and Degas.
  • The sequence feels more open than the antiquities wing, and it often connects naturally with the French painting galleries nearby.

French paintings

French painting from the 19th to early 20th century

  • Upper and side galleries survey French painting from the nineteenth into the early twentieth century, including Monet, Cézanne, Gauguin, and Van Gogh.
  • This calmer run usually follows sculpture and continues through linked rooms rather than one long corridor.

Danish sculpture

Nineteenth-century Danish sculpture

  • Dedicated spaces for Danish sculpture present nineteenth-century marble and bronze works, centered on Bertel Thorvaldsen and later artists.
  • Found in the national collection side of the museum, these galleries sit apart from the French route and echo the glyptotek idea.

Danish Golden Age

Early to mid-19th-century Danish painting

  • These rooms focus on Danish painting of the early to mid-nineteenth century, with names such as Eckersberg and Hammershøi.
  • Reached after sculpture or as a separate loop, they offer a more intimate sequence of domestic and landscape works.

Tips & guidelines

  • Wear comfortable closed shoes: You’ll walk and stand a lot in sculpture halls, and stone or mosaic floors can feel hard underfoot after an hour.
  • Layers work best: The palm-filled Winter Garden is warmer and more humid, while surrounding galleries stay cooler, especially on cloudy or cold Copenhagen days.
  • Bring the right supplies: If you like sketching or journaling, bring a small notebook and pencil; pens, markers, or bulky easels are often restricted inside art museums.
  • Take garden breaks: Plan short breaks in the central garden area instead of powering through; it helps avoid museum fatigue and keeps later galleries enjoyable.
  • Dress for Copenhagen winters: Keep a hat and gloves handy for walks between the museum and nearby sights; Copenhagen’s wind can feel colder than the temperature suggests.
