Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek


Another rainy Sunday in Copenhagen...another day scrambling to find anywhere or anything that is open in order to occupy myself.  Like most cities in europe, everything is closed on Sundays in an attempt to force yourself to relax and enjoy the day off.  Well, study abroad students take that as a challenge..
So today we headed to Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek.  The moment I saw Edgar Degas and an Egyptian art wing listed, I immediately began draining my camera's battery.  But seriously, the battery ran out.  It was depressing.

Here are some of my favorites from the day.  I tried hard to nail down some good ones, but over 100 pictures is quite a bit to look through.

 Edgar Degas's bronze collection
 Thor


 The Thinker
 I just liked him because he looked like he was doing the Single Ladies dance.
 Ophelia
 Perseus beheading Medusa.
 Beethoven 
 Beginning of the egyptian unit!

 My favorite, the happy hippo.
 King Amenophis II
 King Amenemhat III
 Sarcophagus of a cat
 Fallen noses
 A little bit much to take in all at once..
 Imaginary Homer
 Mummies!
 Pete made me pose like one.
 So cool.
Not part of the art museum, but random spray painted pigeons?

And with that, officially off to Berlin tomorrow!
