The Ny Carlsberg Glyptoteket houses a world-renowned collection of sculptures and other works of art from ancient civilizations to the modern era.

We recently announced the museum’s collaboration with Scan the World initiative. By collaborating with Scan the World, the Ny Carlsberg Glyptoteket has taken a big step towards making its collection accessible to people all over the world. This partnership not only benefits the museum by allowing it to share its art with a wider audience, but also benefits the public by providing them with new opportunities to experience and appreciate the beauty of the world’s art and cultural heritage.

Scan the World is happy to announce that the first digitized models of the Ny Carlsberg Glyptoteket’s collection have been published under CC0 license. This means that the digital models are now available for free, without any restrictions, to anyone who wants to use them.

Here are some of the digitised models that are now available on Scan the World’s full collection:

Melpomene

Head of youth Rayet head

Adam and Eve before the fall

The girl with the conch shell
