012 Glyptoteket Winter Garden - Copenhagen

Not like other museums.

“The museum’s richly varied architecture with the Winter Garden as a fertile point of rotation should give every visitor a chance to disengage from the day-to-day, making the visit a pleasure without any sense of obligation.”

The Winter Garden at Carl Jacobsen’s Glyptoteket is one of my favourite spaces to know in existence. I sought to come here on my 24th birthday and spend the afternoon wandering around its tranquil spaces. These photographs are made up from a couple of my visits, hoping to show that each time you go it’s just as beautiful (the afternoon is better, as it is quieter and you get to experience the sun setting through the magnificent glass ceiling above). This was part of the last trip before the full extent of COVID hit and changed all our lives

“Glyptoteket (from the Greek ”glyptos”, which means carving or sculpture, and ”theke”, a place where something is collected or displayed).”
