Stating:

Jacobsen's extensive personal art collection is now housed in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, a museum in Copenhagen which was founded by his son.

Is that really correct? Jacob Chr. Jacobsen may of course have had a personal art collection, that may be part of todays Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, but it is definately not what he is known for. What is true though is that his SON Carl Jacobsen was a known patron of the arts and a very large art collector (mainly sculptures for his own private Glyptothek, which later - correctly stated - was transformed into Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek) and that his (that is I.C. Jacobsens son Carl Jacobsen) private collections are now part of Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jakobp (talk • contribs) 06:45, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
