The New Carlsberg Glyptotek was established by brewer Carl Jacobsen in 1897 as a venue for the Danes to enjoy his ever-expanding collection of contemporary art. The building was drawn by Vilhelm Dahlerup and has since been extended with buildings by Hack Kampmann in 1906 and Henning Larsen in 2006.The world famous Danish museum includes antique sculptures from ancient cultures around the Mediterranean as well as more modern sculptures and an extensive collection of French impressionist, Post-impressionist, and Danish Golden Age paintings.The book provides thorough information on the history and architecture of the Glyptotek, as well as an aesthetic, atmospheric depiction of the building in relation to the art it contains. It is richly illustrated with new original photos by photographer Anders Sune Berg and architectural drawings, historical photos, and additional source material.

This book tells a new story about twentieth-century architecture in Denmark. For the first time ever, readers get an overall picture of the key contribution made by women to the architecture of Danish welfare society in the period 1930–1980. The book’s five chapters present hitherto untold stories about how architecture comes into being through creative collaborations that cut across genders and professional disciplines. Women have contributed to all aspects of architecture, from kitchens and buildings to landscape architecture and urban planning, and their stories highlight the hidden diversity that has shaped Denmark’s buildings, cities and landscapes. The importance of this diversity must be understood and appreciated in the present if we are to create new ways of living and building in the future – a pressing need in light of the many crises we face as a society today.The book was written by Jannie Rosenberg Bendsen, Svava Riesto and Henriette Steiner as part of the research project Women in Danish Architecture at the University of Copenhagen.
