This regal lion guarding the entrance of the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek is one of two by French sculptor Antoine-Louis Barye. They are a hint of the approximate 10,000 sculptures you will enjoy inside the art museum. The collection includes ancient statues from Egypt, Greece and Italy plus 19th and 20th century samples from France and Denmark. One of the most popular pieces is a copy of Auguste Rodin’s “The Thinker.” The famous sculpture is located in Glyptotekshaven (Garden of Glyptotek). Admission is free.
