The New Carlsberg Glyptotek was established by brewer Carl Jacobsen in 1897, as a venue where the Danes could enjoy his ever-expanding collection of contemporary art. The world famous Danish museum includes antique sculptures from ancient cultures around the Mediterranean as well as more modern sculptures and an extensive collection of French impressionists and Post- impressionists as well as Danish Golden Age paintings.
This book is a fascinating read, providing thorough information on the history and architecture of the Glyptotek, as well as an aesthetic, atmospheric depiction of the building in relation to the art it contains. The Architecture of the Glyptotek is richly illustrated with new original photos by the photographer Anders Sune Berg, and architectural drawings, historic photos and additional source material.
