Summer at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen (Denmark) offers visitors world-famous classics of art. Friday 15th June sees the opening of a new display of the Glyptotek’s collection of French painting, which contains Northern Europe’s finest Impressionist collection.
Throughout the summer visitors can experience some 150 works, a cornucopia, including work by such great masters as Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin.

The Glyptotek holds Scandinavia’s largest collection of French Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, which numbers such works as Shadows on the Sea by Claude Monet, Landscape from Saint-Rémy by Vincent van Gogh, Tahitian Woman with a Flower by Paul Gauguin, Toilette after the Bath by Edgar Degas and The Absinthe Drinker by Édouard Manet. Also featured is a selection of works of French sculpture from the same period, most notably the collection of sculptures by Edgar Degas – one of only four complete sets in the world.
