> Friday a week ago, I had a few hours free in Copenhagen before I had to
> head to the airport for my flight home. I decided to spend part of this time
> in
> one of Denmark’s great art institutions, Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek. The founder
> of the Carlsberg brewery, Carl Jacobsen, was an avid art collector and he set
> up the original museum next to the brewery, on the outskirts of the centre
> of Copenhagen, in 1882. In 1888 he donated his entire art collection to the
> Danish state, and a new home for it was built right in the centre of the
> city, 5
> minutes walk from City Hall and Tivoli—hence the name “Ny” (“new”)
> Carlsberg Glyptotek. It opened in 1897. The original building is still the
> main
> building, but several additions have been built over the years.
>
> The collection of the museum ranges from Egyptian, Greek and Roman
> antiquities to modern art, with a heavy emphasis on French art, including
> sculpture by Rodin, Impressionist paintings etc. But I went there to see two
> special exhibitions, one of works by French painter Suzanne Valadon (1865-
> 1938) who had considerable commercial success during her lifetime but had
> been somewhat neglected in recent decades, something that this exhibition
> was designed to rectify, and it does so very successfully. The other
> exhibition
> was by Danish sculptor Anne-Marie Carl Nielsen (1863-1945), wife of
> composer Carl Nielsen but a great artist in her own right. She too was
> successful during her life, and several works by her are part of the urban
> landscapes of Denmark, including the statue of King Christian IX on horseback
> on the square behind Christiansborg, home of Denmark’s parliament.
>
> So I invite you to look at some magnificent art in a magnificent location:
