On a second trip to the Carlsberg Glyptotek I noticed a small sculpture that I had overlooked previously. I don't know how I missed it actually--a headless mythic animal-like statue with multiple breasts made of pink latex really does stand out when it is placed next to white marble statues of greek gods. But it works perfectly. This is a great example of a museum that could easily not include a piece like this and get along just fine with its collection of various antiquities and French Impressionists. It's just fantastic that they aquired and exhibit a piece by Louis Bourgeois from the 1980s in this context. I wish more museums had the guts to do this.
