About the foundation
The New Carlsberg Foundation was established in 1902 by brewer Carl Jacobsen and is funded mainly by dividends from shares in Carlsberg A/S. Today, the Foundation continues to realize Jacobsen’s vision of promoting art in society and making it available to the widest possible audience.
