Established in 1888 by brewing magnate Carl Jacobsen to provide a public home for his private art, the Glyptotek today houses a world-class collection that ranges from ancient Egyptian, Roman and Greek sculpture to paintings from the Danish Golden Age to a marvellous array of French Impressionist pieces. Another highlight is the museum’s glass-domed Winter Garden, which is filled with statues, palm trees and a fountain. Entry is free on Tuesdays.
