Copenhagen, Denmark
Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek
Antiquities and French sculpture around a glass-domed winter garden with palm trees.
The brewer Carl Jacobsen's collection: Egyptian, Greek and Roman sculpture, the largest group of Rodin outside France, and Gauguin from his Danish marriage. The palm-filled winter garden is the heart of it.
