The Near Eastern Collection

The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek’s collection from the Near East is modest, but both select and wide-ranging. The chronological span is more than 7000 years and geographically it covers five countries.

The collection comprises humble terra-cottas and bronzea, but also monumental works, such as fragments from Nebuchadnezzar’s Ishtar gate at Babylon and from the imperial palace at Persepolis.
