#222: Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek

May 20, 2018


I was the only one in my family who really cared about seeing this, so while they had lunch, I split off from them and headed over to Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek.

There is a beautiful courtyard right in the middle of the main floor and then rooms are attached to all sides of this main courtyard that are filled with beautiful sculptures.....


Such as this (Ernst Henri Dubois's The Prodigal Son)


And this (Eugene Delaplanche's Music)


And Auguste Rodin's The Kiss

Selfie with The Kiss


Rodin's The Good Genius


Paul Dubois's Joan of Arc


Rodin's Eve


Rodin's The Blessings

Rodin's Victor Hugo


Rodin's The Burghers of Calais

Edgar Degas' Sculptures


Verdict:  No.  This isn't something you need to do before you die unless you are a die hard art lover. But it is a very impressive, very beautiful museum with some pretty spectacular works.  It was a particular highlight for me to see The Kiss. I really enjoy Rodin and this museum has the largest collection of Rodin sculptures outside of France.
Cost: 115 DKK/adult.  Age 19-26: 85 DKK.  Under 18 is Free. Admission free for all on Tuesdays.
