Indre By
Antiquities and French painting around a domed winter garden of palms.
The Glyptotek was built from a brewer's private collection and opened in 1897. It holds Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan and Roman sculpture on one side and nineteenth-century Danish and French painting on the other, including substantial Rodin and Degas holdings.
The emotional centre is the winter garden: a glass-domed courtyard filled with palms, a fountain and marble figures, warm in any weather and one of the most pleasant indoor rooms in the city.
It stands beside Tivoli in Indre By, close to the main station, so it works well as a rainy-morning alternative. Have a long, unhurried breakfast in the centre and then straight in when the doors open.
