Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek Museum

This museum is one of the jewels in Copenhagen's crown. It’s visually stunning, impressively grand, singularly dazzling, and it's free on every Wednesday!

The museum is home to artwork throughout the ages from Greek, Egyptian, and Roman, to Renaissance. There are works by Gauguin, Rodin, Van Gogh and Monet in wood, marble, stone, and on canvas. Tempted yet?

The beautiful museum is split into three sections with a central glass housed section with seats, palms, fountains, and a gift shop. Housing the biggest collection of Rodin outside France (including versions of "The Thinker" and "The Kiss" ), the French section is inspiring. The classical section of marble sculpture leaves you awestruck.

We spent an entire day in here and were mesmerised. Words cannot do justice to its grandeur -- this is a "must see" if you are in Copenhagen.
