Festival focus on Carl
The rare guided tour is part of this year’s Golden Days Festival. Brewer, art lover and philanthropist Carl Jacobsen is one of the ten individuals highlighted in the festival programme.
The Carlsberg family is behind many of the events during the festival, which takes place from 2 through 17 September. The museums, Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek and the Museum of National History at Frederiksborg Castle, the foundations, Carlsberg Foundation and the New Carlsberg Foundation, the Carlsberg Laboratory and the visitor’s centre Visit Carlsberg offer a wide range of events that take the audience back to Carl Jacobsen’s (1842–1914) Copenhagen and traces the brewer’s impact on present-day Copenhagen.
