ny carlsberg glyptoteket, tivoli

These go together because they are right next to each other in Copenhagen... The first is an art museum (free attendance on Sundays), and the second is an (in our opinions, overly-expensive and not worth it) amusement park.


This is the palm garden area, which is the center of the museum.


















Unfortunately it was a warm day, considering the greenhouse effect...
















This museum contains the personal art and sculpture collection of the founder of the Carlsberg Brewery.











Great architecture...














Kind of spooky to walk into this hall of heads!






























Death and the Maiden, by Elna Borch


















Blow me a kiss!














Does this look like a Roman Emperor to you? Hmmm. I guess there's a knot at the upper right shoulder... it's labeled "Roman Emperor".



















Clearly this sculptor saw the movie Home Alone.














On the train platform coming back. They don't have sicker heads in Denmark (well... hmm...) -- this is referring to the safety zone in Danish.











Now, on to Tivoli! Unfortunately individual rides are so expensive that we ended up not going on any of them... and you have to pay an entrance fee to get into the park itself, which is fairly steep (around $18). Not worth it, but didn't know that at the time, and had to go in out of curiosity. (You can also buy a multiride pass, but you'll be paying nearly $60, by our calculations...)

Anyway, we did take some pictures...




The Chinese stage... there are occasional performances, but we weren't there at the right time (just our luck, eh?)










This is a restaurant...
















Here's a fun looking roller coaster. But worth $12 per ride? Notsomuch!

















One last photo for this entry, and it's in neither Tivoli nor the Glyptoteket. This is a building just south of Kongens Nytorv, and if you look closely at a few layers of the spire... there are some hidden smiley faces. :)
