An's walk in Copenhagen

The Glyptotek is the first museum, that I visited here and I’m so fascinated from it. It is an old building housing the collection of sculptures, donated by Carl Jacobsen (the founder of the Carlsberg brewery). The museum has also huge collections of Egyptian Art, Greek and Roman sculptures, Etruscan and ancient Greek art (which was the most interesting for me It houses also famous Danish paintings and sculptures from the Danish Golden Age (I believe every country has its own Golden Age, in Bulgaria it was at the beginning of the X-th century, but in Denmark it was during the Napoleonic wars), and famous French impressionists like Degas and Renoir.

It is huge and interesting, and there is an amazing winter garden inside the building with a great cast-iron construction and windows that cover the garden. The bookshop is great, but I don’t have any pictures from there, because I decided to start the bookshops series after that. There is a coffee-shop in the garden also. And I am totally fond of the new building, which is just a big rectangular thing without any windows, but looks great with its marble plaster on the outer walls. With the girls we wanted to go on the terrace on its roof, but unfortunately it turned the be closed during winter. We will go in the spring! And, thanks to Anna, who checked in the internet site, we went there on Sunday, when the entrance is free. And I was so happy that I wasn’t alone there! All the friends that I have here are as much fascinated to visit museums as me Of coarse, noone was interested in ancient art, but this is not a big deal

I am so curious how can a museum have a blog, but you can check if you don’t believe me (it’s in danish, but I used the google translator to know what it is about) and I think it’s cool: http://glyptoteket.wordpress.com/. They even have a facebook page, that already became favorite of my own page
