This Copenhagen museum, Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, represents the private art collection of Carl Jacobsen, (1842–1914), the son of the founder of the Carlsberg Breweries. "Ny" means "new" in Danish, and "Glyptotek" comes from the Greek root glyphein, to carve, and theke, storing place.
This exhibit shows the results of exhaustive research into "Dancers Practicing in the Foyer" by Edgar Degas, which places the painting much earlier than previously believed. Consequently, this painting had a much more extensive and important effect on his painting career.
