Organisation

The Glyptotek is the leading antiquities museum in the Nordic countries and also has one of Europe's finest collections of French art from the period 1800-1930.

The museum and its buildings have a unique history, which through its founder, brewer Carl Jacobsen, unites art history with industrial history and stands as an important chapter in Danish cultural history around the year 1900.

Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek (the Glyptotek) is run as an independent institution which receives funding from The Agency for Culture and Palaces and The New Carlsberg Foundation.

The museum has approximately 185 employees (100 full-time) and is visited annually by 400-500,000 guests.
