History
After purchasing ''Bakkegården'' and making it his family home, Carl Jacobsen expanded it with a winter garden in 1882. A passionate art collector, Carl Jacobsen used it for his sculptures which soon outnumbered the plants. In the autumn of 1882, he opened the collection to the public. The collections grew rapidly and in 1885 Dahlerup expanded the museum with four new galleries (Gallery 2–5) and the following year with another nine (Gallery 6–14). Hack Kampmann who had built Jacobsen a new home in 1892 expanded the museum with six more galleries to its current size in 1896. He also adapted most of the old rooms, leaving only galleries 2–4 unchanged.
After the collections were moved to the present Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in two stages, the modern collection in 1896 and the classical collection in 1905, the building served as a studio for an artist and a private venue for celebrations in the Jacobsen family.
