You're standing at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, right next to the Tivoli Gardens. Yes, Carlsberg, as in the beer. The museum was founded by Carl Jacobsen, son of the man who founded the Carlsberg Breweries. Glyptotek roughly means a storehouse of carvings, and sculpture is exactly what this museum is all about.
