Glyptotek, Copenhagen

We saw much of the Glyptotek Sunday morning, mostly the ancient collections and then the 19th and 20th century French paintings. It is an amazing museum, overwhelming in its size and coverage.

Right across from Copenhagen's City Hall is
Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek (as in Carlsberg beer)



Mostly sculpture and archaeology; an amazing Egyptian collection

Roman copy of Greek Socrates
Late Roman sculpture, the Lady of Palmyra
Victor Hugo and his muse, Rodin

Rodin's Burghers
