The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek is an art museum in Copenhagen, Denmark. The collection is built around the personal collection of Carlsberg Beer founder, Carl Jacobsen (1842–1914). The museum houses an eclectic mix of antique sculptures, Impressionist paintings, Danish art, and various other styles. The Etruscan collection is one of the most extensive outside Italy.

Works by impressionists such as Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, Degas, Cézanne are all found in the museum. Post-impressionists such as van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec and Bonnard are also represented. The museum also possesses a collection of Rodin sculptures, posed to be the most important collection of Rodin's sculptures outside France.
