About the Museum
The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek consists of four buildings. The architect Vilhelm Dahlerup created the museum's first wing, which was inaugurated in 1897. It was to house Carl Jacobsen's collection of Danish and French sculpture. Dahlerup also drew the museum's Winter Garden, which opened to the public in 1906, the same year that the architect Hack Kampmann's building for Carl Jacobsen's collection of ancient works was inaugurated. Most recently, the museum was enlarged with a new wing in 1996, created by the architect Henning Larsen for the Collection of French Painting.

Central Hall, Concert venue
In the middle of the Kampmann Building lies the Central Hall. The architect chose Classical Greek architecture with columns of the Ionic order as his ideal. The strict axiality of the room is, however, characteristic of the later Hellenistic period, which subsequently inspired many Roman forums.

The monumental architecture is constructed in marble, limestone and granite, and crowned with a glass roof. The open room is surrounded on three sides by colonnades with columns of Italian marble. On the fourth side, Kampmann has placed a temple front with Carl and Ottilia's names inscribed in gold lettering on the frieze.

For concerts the Hall is covered with wood
For music and other events where seating is demanded for the audience the original Roman mosaic floor, which decorates the central part of the Hall is covered with a wooden floor.
