44 end of the wall you descend lo the road along Kalvebod- strand. You proceed to the right and will pass a cosy little house on the right close to Langebro (bridge), (which is shortly to be removed or at all events rebuilt) and then crossing the bridge itself a fine view may be obtained to both sides. Having crossed the bridge you arrive at the Main facade of the arsenal to the left (see page 17). Op­ posite thereto are some tail warehouses by >Adolphs Plads«, where the steamers for western Norway are moored. To the left of Langebro is the »Gas v s e r ks havn* (gasworks harbour), where the coal steamers are lying, and behind it the Ve s t r e Gasvserk (western gasworks). This place will be the site of the new goods railway station. Going along the quay to the left you will see a piece of rough ground intended for a square but not yet cleared, and beliind that a fine, broad boulevard leading to the Gl y p t o t h e k (PI. a.

The columns are supporting 7 arches of Eu- ville-stone, between which are placed castings in bronze of classic sculptures. The Sirens in the gable and the two figures on either side of the middle arch were modelled by Hammeleff. The arched ceiling of the hall is in light- brown terracotta and gold, and rests on 8 yellow chan­ nelled marble columns.

The objects are all supplied with name-plates. Immediately to the left of the Glyptothek, at the end of a small lawn, is a fine statue of the historical painter and designer A. .T.
