The David Collection
Copenhagen • Museums
Renowned for its Islamic art collection, alongside European and Danish fine and applied arts.


An impressive blend of classical sculpture and French impressionist masterpieces in a stunning architectural setting.
Founded by the Carlsberg brewery magnate Carl Jacobsen, the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek houses an extraordinary collection of art and antiquities. Visitors can wander through halls filled with ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman sculptures alongside Danish Golden Age paintings. The museum is particularly noted for its extensive collection of French impressionist and post-impressionist paintings, including works by Monet, Gauguin, and Van Gogh. The winter garden, an oasis of palm trees and marble, offers a serene spot to reflect on the art.
