A Visit to Copenhagen´s Ny Carlsberg Glyptothek

During my trip to Denmark last weekend I had only half an hour time to take a look at this magnificent museum.
I headed straight to the ancients section and for those of you who haven´t been to Copenhagen or missed this place I took some portraits of the marble Caesars and their consorts. Here are some of my favorites:


Caligula


Julia Titi


Germanicus


Antonia II


Titus


Agrippina II


Livia


Flavia Domitilla


Marcus Aurelius, Antoninus Pius, Faustina II, Antinous...

And yes, they do have coins! Here is a part of their portrait gallery of Sestertii - I would have a need for that Julia Paula, Aquilia Severa, Paulina, and Gordian II in my collection :


On my next trip to the north I´ll make sure to bring more time...

It’s a fabulous museum. I love the building as well as the collection. Just the right scale, too.

 

Cool pics would love bronzes of Julia Paula, Aquilia Severa, & Paulina. Thanks for sharing.

 

I'd love to go to that museum! But there's not much else drawing me to Copenhagen..

 

Stunning images! Thanks for sharing Caligula's Gorgon emblazoned breast plate is spectacular
