The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek is Copenhagen's most extensive ancient and contemporary art museum, and houses the largest ancient art collection in Northern Europe. The 10,000 pieces of artwork here are divided into two parts: the Mediterranean-Western Culture Collection and the 19th and 20th-century Danish and French art collection. Stroll around the premises, which include a Winter Garden, café and the Larsen Building for the Collection of French Painting, for a perfect mid-day retreat with Gauguin and Rodin. /system/photos/0046/3105/2597720268_15c05d5d82_thumb.jpg 2009-04-17T17:07:12+02:00 Copenhagen Art 463105 vargklo via Flickr /system/photos/0046/3105/2597720268_15c05d5d82.jpg 463115 Bjørn Giesenbauer via Flickr /system/photos/0046/3115/Picture_6.jpg
