The museum was founded by the successful beer brewer Carl Jacobsen and his wife Ottilia. The first plan to build such an institution was created in 1892. The whole project was financed by profits of the beer brewery.
One of the architectonic attracions of NY Carlsberg Glyptotek is a huge glass dome, which combinates the new part of the museum with the old part. The hall under the glass dome is filled and decorated with palms and other exotic plants.
