Guided Tour. How It All Began. The Glyptotek’s Egyptian Collection
Advertisement
The Glyptotek’s founder, brewing magnate Carl Jacobsen, also collected ancient Egyptian art and his first Egyptian acquisition was a beautifully decorated mummy case.
Today the collection numbers more than 300 works which come from a period of more than 3,000 years. This long time span makes it possible to see both the development of Egyptian art and masterpieces from each period. From monumental sculpture to the world of the Egyptian gods and the magic hieroglyphs – and then, of course, the scary, yet fascinating mummies.
FREE GUIDED TOUR
The guided tour is free of charge once the museum entrance fee has been paid. Tour tickets cannot be reserved in advance but must be collected at the ticket desk on the day of the visit. Tickets are not issued to groups of more than five people. Larger groups are referred to booking a private tour.
