The official Glyptoteket app provides a high-quality, free audio companion to the museum's world-class collections of ancient and modern art.

The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek offers a comprehensive audio guide experience through its official mobile app. The app is designed to be used while wandering through the museum’s stunning galleries, which range from ancient Egyptian tombs to the sun-drenched Winter Garden. It provides several themed routes, including a “Highlights” tour for those with limited time and deep dives into specific collections like the Roman portraits or French Impressionist paintings.

The content is professionally produced, often featuring curators and experts who provide context on the artworks and the museum’s unique architecture. One of the standout features is the “Samlyt” (Listen Together) function, which allows groups to sync their audio and experience the tour simultaneously.

While the app is free, it is intended for use within the museum, and you’ll need to pay the standard admission fee to enter. It is highly recommended to bring your own headphones to enjoy the immersive storytelling without disturbing other visitors. The app is available for both iOS and Android and supports offline use if you download the content in advance using the museum’s Wi-Fi.
