Glyptoteket - Sculptures in Copenhagen

Some pictures of my favourite sculptures and surroundings at Glyptoteket 

They have quite an active YouTube channel which shows off the building itself, which is as beautiful as the exhibits. 

As I was wandering around today a choir was in the main hall, which provided an eerie backdrop to the disembodied faces and torsos around me.  I had no idea in particular how skilled the Roman sculpture artists became, with some works being so human like I had to touch them to verify they were made of stone.
