Year its an incredeble place, although i havent actually been there since i was a kid...But yeah they are doing a major renivation at the moment, and therefor many of their artpieces are on loan to the Royal Academy in london. I think you are right, they will re-open in 2006, i tried their website, but i doesnt work...u/c...great pics though...
Art and architecture of the Glyptotek in Copenhagen
I recently visited Glyptoteket in Copenhagen. It has a great architecture that I want to show to those who haven't been there(and those who have been there too of course). 
Unfortunagely many of the departments were closed because of renovations and updates that will remain until 2006 I think, so some of the greatest rooms can not be seen. And I was not allowed to take pictures of the famous paintings from Picasso and van Gogh on the 2nd floor.
But the museum is focused on classical Greece art, sculptures and architecture. There is also a basement with well preserved mummies from Egypt that are several thousand years old. The glyptotek is owned by Ny Carlsberg foundation!
