Discover the Glyptotek

Who hasn’t heard of the Louvre, the Prado, the British Museum? But the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek? I didn’t even know it existed much less how to pronounce it. I won’t forget it now.


In wandering Copenhagen, I couldn’t miss billboards promoting an Impressionist exhibit there and my guidebook made it sound promising. I hadn’t passed up the Carlsberg Brewery tour, of course. (Recommended!) And it turns out that all that Carlsberg beer made the brewery founder’s son, Carl Jacobsen, a very rich art collector and very philanthropic, resulting in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek.


It’s my kind of museum. Cozy and impressive, massive but manageable with art enough to please every taste from Roman through French Impressionists, sculptures and Danish painters.


The Winter Garden

The Winter Garden’s light-filled space combines large palms (yes, in Denmark!) and sculptures with a simple café overlooking it at one side. By the time you wander through galleries filled with art and archaeological items from ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, as well as Danish and French art of the 19th century it's a welcome spot to rest, savor a smørrebrød, and enjoy the view.


Winter Garden from the cafe

Thinking that I’d seen everything, walked out. Waiting at the bus stop, I looked toward the side of the building, illustrated with the same billboard design advertising their French Impressionist exhibit. How could I have missed that? Easily, it seems. I’d been absorbed by so much else in the main building that I'd never noticed there are three connected wings. The door to access one was hidden at the far end of the Winter Garden. It was devoted to Van Gogh, Monet, Manet, Monet, Rousseau and more. It doesn't replace Paris' Musée d'Orsay for sheer quantity of Impressionists but up close 'n personal, it's a treat. And discovered how much I like Rousseau.


If you’re in Copenhagen, don’t miss the Glyptotek. Oh, yes, and that’s Gleep-toe-tek.


Currently 115 DKK adults (about $17); discounts for students and children; free on Tuesdays (not including special exhibits)

There is plenty of detail behind the structures seen in everyday buildings, from understanding materials to considering how different loads are handled. Exploring structural engineer online learning can provide insight into these fundamentals, while The College of Contract Management includes structural engineering within its construction-focused subjects. This can offer a broader look at the technical side of the industry.

Mình chơi xổ số cho vui là chính nên chuyện trúng hay trật cũng không để nặng đầu, coi như thêm chút hồi hộp mỗi ngày. Gần đây mình hay lướt đọc mấy chia sẻ của người khác, thấy họ bàn về tần suất, chu kỳ ra số hay ghép cặp cũng thú vị. Có bữa mình thử soi cầu xsmb dựa trên bộ số quen tay, rồi nhìn thêm vài nhận xét kiểu lô rơi, kết quả lúc đúng lúc sai nên mình tự nhắc là chỉ tham khảo thôi. Mình thấy quan trọng nhất vẫn là giữ tinh thần thoải mái, đặt giới hạn rõ ràng, và xem đây là trò may rủi có chút thống kê cho…

Mình có lần lướt đọc mấy trao đổi trên mạng شيخ روحاني thì thấy nhắc nên cũng tò mò mở ra xem thử cho biết. Mình không tìm hiểu sâu جلب الحبيب chỉ xem qua trong thời gian ngắn để quan sát bố cục جلب الحبيب cách sắp xếp شيخ روحاني các mục và trình bày nội شيخ روحاني dung tổng thể. Cảm giác là các phần được trình bày khá gọn, các Berlinintim mục rõ ràng nên đọc lướt cũng không bị rối Berlinintim với mình như شيخ روحاني vậy là đủ để nắm tin cơ bản rồi. جلب الحبيب
