The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek was founded by Carl Jacobsen, heir to the Carlsberg brewery, as a gift to the city of Copenhagen. It opened in 1897 and expanded with a French Impressionist wing in 1906. The building — a combination of neoclassical facades and a spectacular glass-domed winter garden — is among the most beautiful museum interiors in Scandinavia.
