Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek

The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek has a great collection of all sorts of art, and wonderful buildings. I love the Rodin works, especially The Age of Bronze. There is something almost erotic about it. Maybe that's just me?

Helsingor & Louisiana

We went with some friends who were staying to Louisiana and Helsingor. Kronberg Slot is the mythical home of Shakespeare's Hamlet and Louisiana is Denmarks "leading contemporary art museum." Kronberg is kinda fun - it relies on the Hamlet myth to get visitors there, then becomes a tale of the historic land battles between the Danes and Sweeds.



Louisiana has a developing collection of contemproary art (read 20th cent.), and is in wonderful gardens. The building itself is also something of a trip - like 2 arms hugging a sea view. There was a Max Ernst exhibition on when we went - didn't love it really. Looking forward to seeing their upcoming exhibitions though.

Thorvaldsens Museum

Thorvaldsens Museum, in central København, is a testimony to Denmark's greatest Golden Age sculptor, and the first publicly funded museum in Denmark. It pretty much hasn't changed since it was build, and contains some exceptional work. The cameo room was a major highlight for me.
