The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen is offering yoga sessions in its Winter Garden, the lush, palm-filled space beneath the museum’s glass dome. Classes are held in both Danish and English, with museum admission included in the ticket.
The Winter Garden is one of the museum’s signature spaces, a green oasis surrounded by sculpture and architecture. Practising yoga among the palms gives visitors a calm setting rarely found in a city centre.
The sessions are part of a broader trend of museums opening their spaces for wellness and events beyond traditional exhibitions. Combining exercise with access to art offers a different reason to visit.
The Glyptotek is known for its collections of ancient and modern sculpture, gathered by the Carlsberg brewing family. Using the Winter Garden for yoga adds a contemporary use to a historic institution.
For participants, the classes pair movement with a striking setting and a chance to see the collection. It reflects how cultural venues are experimenting with new ways to bring people through their doors.
