Carlsberg Brewery founder Carl Jacobsen spent a great deal of his fortune on art, primarily Classical sculpture. While in Copenhagen last September, my friend Steve and I visted the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, a museum housing his collection and some subsequent acquisitions purchased through the endowment he left along with the art. I'm posting two photos of this generous man, both in his later years. There are earlier photos, but he is one of those men who looked better as he got older. The most interesting part of the museum for me was the Danish sculptures which will take up parts two and three of this series. We begin with some of the items which are not Danish.
