Om udstillingen I foråret 2023 modtog Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek en skriftlig anmodning - et såkaldt repatrieringskrav - fra den tyrkiske ambassade i Danmark om tilbagelevering af et antikt bronzeportræt af den romerske kejser Septimius Severus (145-211 e.v.t.). Museet og de danske myndigheder har imødekommet anmodningen, og bronzeportrættet udstilles nu en sidste gang, inden det udføres permanent til Tyrkiet.
Baggrunden for denne repatriering er bl.a. museets egne arkæologiske, tekniske og arkivalske undersøgelser, der bekræfter at portrættet oprindeligt var fra lokaliteten Boubon i det sydvestlige Tyrkiet og blev ulovligt udført og solgt på det internationale kunstmarked.
Denne forskning bragte også museet på sporet af 48 antikke arkitektoniske terrakottaudsmykninger erhvervet til museet i 1974. Disse genstande viste sig at stamme fra den arkæologiske lokalitet Düver i Tyrkiet, der blev rovgravet i 1960' og 1970'erne og ulovligt udført fra Tyrkiet.
Efter grundig forskning og dokumentation indstillede Glyptoteket også disse genstande til at blive repatrieret til den tyrkiske stat, hvilket nu er godkendt af myndighederne. Inden kejserportrættet samt de arkitektoniske terrakottaer overdrages permanent til Tyrkiet, udstilles et udvalg af genstandene på Glyptoteket for sidste gang.

An Emperor Returns - The Repatriation of Ancient Artefacts to Türkiye
Tuesday 4 February at 11 - 12 am
Join us when we are paying farewell to an ancient bronze portrait of the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus, before it will be permanently repatriated to Türkiye.
The program will consist of talks from Gertrud Hvidberg-Hansen, director at the Glyptotek, Cecilie Brøns, Senior Researcher at the Glyptotek, and Hakan Tekin, Türkiye's ambassador to Denmark.
The event will be in English. We recommend that you experience the exhibition before attending the event.
About the exhibition In the spring of 2023, the Glyptotek received a formal request - a so-called repatriation claim - from the Turkish Embassy in Denmark concerning the return of an ancient bronze portrait of the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus (145-211 CE). The request was prompted by an assumption that the portrait originated from Boubon in Türkiye, where it was illicitly excavated and traded in the 1960s. The Glyptotek's recent research indicated that the bronze portrait likely originated from this site and was illegally exported from Türkiye.
During the course of the museum's research, a group of 48 architectural terracottas acquired in 1974 came to the museum's attention. These pieces proved to originate from Düver, another archaeological site in Türkiye where they were illegally excavated and exported.
As research has provided evidence that the artefacts from Boubon and Düver were obtained in an illegal and unethical manner as recently as the 1970s, the museum has decided to return them to Türkiye. This has now been approved by the Danish authorities.
Before the 49 artefacts are permanently repatriated to Türkiye, the Glyptotek is presenting a farewell exhibition of the portrait of Septimius Severus and a selection of the architectural terracottas from Düver.
