The perfect museum. It wasn't my first time there, but it's the first time in a few years. I am always drawn in by the Impressionnism section, which is amazing. This visit, I spent much more time in the Roman/Greek sections and the Egyptian section. I also enjoyed the section on Degas with all the information about what "lies behind" - the science of learning more about paintings with laser scanning. I walked through the special exhibit with Gauguin and loved every step. The museum shop offers a wonderful selection of items and many postcards. The restaurant it absolutely worth planning into your visit. The food is delicious! It has an excellent selection of beverages also. I really could go on and on, but I'll just add pictures.

I visited the Art museum by chance, while passing there, entered and left about 2 hours, just on exploring ancient period, actually Greek and Roman times represented through sculptures of goodness, emperors and ordinary people sculpture portraits. The whole period of the sculpture culture and its popularity and priority in art lasted almost one milenium, from about 500 BC to 500 AD. Roman empire adopted and copied Greeks art of building sculptures, even improved, and saved for humanity. It was impressive to get in the arts that ancient people admired and were surrounded with. Museum is very well organized, it just leads you through periods and you may read about and take photos. Next time next period, or you should book more time for museum exhibitions. And there is a lot more.

exceeded my expectations. I honestly didn’t anticipate being this impressed, but from the moment I stepped inside, it became clear that this is not a museum you rush through — it’s a place you truly live in for a while. I spent at least 5–6 hours here, and it still didn’t feel like enough. The collection is incredibly rich and thoughtfully curated, spanning ancient Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Etruscan art, as well as an outstanding collection of French and Danish works. Each room flows into the next so naturally that you lose all sense of time. What truly elevates the experience is the architecture and atmosphere. The museum itself is a work of art — especially the breathtaking Winter Garden with its glass dome, palm trees, and quiet benches. It’s the perfect place to pause, reflect, and absorb everything you’ve seen so far. Few museums manage to feel both grand and intimate at the same time, but the Glyptotek does exactly that.

I’d suggest holding off until after October to visit. Whilst the building itself is still stunning and centred around the Winter Garden, its most visually stunning centrepiece - the Greek and Roman exhibits- are closed until October. You can see in the attached picture of the colour-coded map that this takes out a huge swathe of the museum. Otherwise, the building itself is as impressive as the exhibits.

One of the nicest buildings in the city. Check out current exhibitions, we were lucky enough to see the french art exhibition. Beautiful place to visit, stay for lunch, enjoy views from rooftop.
