Overview

The New Carlsberg Glyptotek was built by brewer Carl Jacobsen around the turn of the nineteenth century. Acoustics are excellent here, even in the long, arched galleries and in the halls; these spaces have been made use of for choral arrangements. The ceiling is even higher in the concert hall, producing a long reverberation well suited to slower classical, New Age and choral music. Orchestral music does appear occasionally. The concert hall can seat 200 people and is an attraction in itself, with its marble floors, antique sculptures and exhibitions of other art. Every summer Sunday you can attend classical summer concerts here at 2p (enquire about the admission fee).
