Every time. I have been to both the National Museum of Art and the Carlsberg Collection, there is no comparison. The National Museum is a nice one but for a major European capital, it is a disgrace. The Carlsberg Collection on the other hand (a gift to the people of Denmark from the Carlsberg Beer family) is a truly amazing collection. It is comprised mostly of classical sculpture and a small collection of impressionist masters. If there is any famous person or deity you would like to see in marble, it is here. The impressionist collection is especially interesting since it has some Van Gogh's from before he developed his famous style. Unfortunately they do not allow photography in the painting section so you all will have to suffer through sculpture pics. That is Alexander the Great on the left with Perseus and Medusa on the right.
