The museum is located in the old building of the Carlsberg brewery. Here are exhibits from the life of the enterprise itself, its employees and even heavy trucks, the preservation of the breed of which we owe to the very founder of the beer production, Jacob Jacobsen, these mighty horses were used to deliver beer barrels. They also store cars that were once used for the same purposes.
Field exhibits show the life of brewers, who were provided with two jars of beer of their own production as food at work. There is a tasting room where you can get two mugs of beer to choose from with a ticket.
And the second Mermaid settled in the courtyard - a double of the one that became the symbol of Copenhagen and all of Denmark. The son of Jacob Jacobsen, Carl Jacobsen, donated the famous sculpture made to his order to Copenhagen and it was installed near the Langelinje embankment in 1913.
There is reason to believe that the gift was not entirely voluntary - Karl's wife insisted on this, who was unpleasant to have a rival even in the form of a bronze sculpture. Karl had to give in, but he ordered another Mermaid for himself, she is smaller than her older sister, but the resemblance between them is clear. She has never been put on public display and she quietly stays in the courtyard of the Carlsberg brewery in Copenhagen, to this day remaining out of reach of the barbarians, who have repeatedly crippled the sculpture on the embankment.
