Carlsberg Glyptotek

Some days ago I visited Carlsberg glyplotek. It is a museum of ancient sculptures of the  ancient romans, ancient Egyptians, ancient paloroma, ancient Mediteranean. Though I only visited the ancient egyptian section. There were many sculptures of the gods and pharoahs and priests (in ancient egypt priests worked in temples).There was even two real mummies(mummified ones). I thought it was fantastic.
There is a cafe in calsberg glyplotek which is lovely.You can have a delicious cake and a lot of other yummy things.


Just inside Glyptoteket there is a very nice indoor garden with this little fountain
