Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek

Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, founded by brewer Carl Jacobsen in 1888, houses an extensive collection of ancient art from Egypt, Greece, and Rome, alongside a superb array of 19th-century French paintings. The museum's highlight is its collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works by artists such as Monet, Renoir, and Gauguin.
