What a gem of a museum and ridiculously cheap entrance fee. The museum is beautifully laid out with a clockwise route and masses of useful information in English. The sculpture collection is not large but don’t be concerned as it contains so many Greek & Roman masterpieces that you will still spend a lot of time admiring them. We will return before we go back home.
This museum may not be the most impressive, but I find its peaceful atmosphere captivating. However, I only give it a 3-star rating because construction is ongoing, which makes it difficult to enjoy everything.
The Glyptothek in Munich is a must-visit for fans of classical art, featuring an impressive collection of ancient Greek and Roman statues. The museum is beautifully designed, with natural light highlighting the sculptures, creating a peaceful and almost timeless atmosphere. Every room is filled with stunning marble figures, from famous mythological scenes to expressive portrait busts. One of the best parts of the Glyptothek is its café inside, located in a charming courtyard. It’s a perfect spot to relax with a coffee after exploring the collection, adding to the museum’s inviting and tranquil vibe. If you appreciate ancient art or just want a quiet, inspiring place to visit, the Glyptothek is definitely worth your time!
