Copenhagen, Glyptoteket
The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, commonly known simply as Glyptoteket, is an art museum in Copenhagen whose collection represents the private art collection of Carl Jacobsen, the son of the founder of the Carlsberg Breweries. Mailed in 1954, the real-photo card went with its stamp and postmark to the U.K., where it was forwarded (with another postmark) to a different English address. We enjoy seeing things like the original Danish postmark being 3rd July, and the forwarding English mark being on 5th July. Can service be that fast now? Grade: 2
