What began in the late 19th century as a private collection of sculptures and art by Carl Jacobsen, the son of the Carlsberg Breweries founder, grew into the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek Art Museum. This grand, Venetian Renaissance building is the Dahlerup Wing. It was named after its architect Wilhelm Dahlerup when construction finished in 1897. Since then, several structures have been added to the art museum.
