Description

From Tivoli in Copenhagen's center, H. C. Andersens Boulevard leads southeast to Dante Square (Dante Plads). Here can be found the Ny Carlsberg Glyptothek, in front of which stands the Dante Column, a gift from the city of Rome. The museum contains the collections of Carl and Ottilia Jacobsen, who presented them for public exhibition in 1888. The building was erected in two phases, the first part in 1892-7 with three wings and a richly decorated facade facing Dante Square, the second in 1901-6.
