Wonderful museum which hosts the masterpieces of the temple of Aphaea in the greek island of Aegina. Relaxed atmosphere, plenty of places to sit, quite often you ll find art students drawing. Must visit in Munich

A unique experience for any lover of art and ancient classical culture!
The Glyptothek is nothing less than the oldest museum in the city of Munich.
Its content is also exceptional: it is dedicated solely to ancient sculpture, from the archaic Greek ..

Inside the museum, in Room VIII, the visitor finds a cafeteria and is offered the opportunity, if the weather is good, to go out onto the large terrace in the heart of the building.
Finally, I would like to mention the kindness and warm welcome from the receptionists, especially Manuel.

Not too big but nice museum with Greek and Roman sculptures. They offer plenty of explanation in every room. It isn’t expensive at all and they do offer students discount.

A wonderful temple where you can enjoy ancient Roman and Greek sculpture. Well displayed, well organized, in a unique setting. Even just after 2 weeks of full immersion in Rome still found in this Glyptothek alone enough to justify my trip to Munich.

Amazing collection of Greek antiquities with a wealth of background information and a fantastic cafe. What's not to like? And we went on one Euro Sunday. Amazing deal.

Beautiful collection of antique art. Worth a stroll on a Sunday morning when the ticket is only 1 €. There's even a café inside. But one must be very careful with small children so they won't knock anything down.

A very great place to be. Much better than Berlin.
It is nice to relax and to think about all the poor people who have to live in Berlin. Glyptothek is really a building that makes me thankful for being in Munich and not in Berlin.

Someone wrote in a review that they don't accept credit cards. That was not true for today. Payed with card without problems.

- Compared to other museums in Munich, it is a small one.
- I expect descriptions of artifacts near them. They put info tablets in every room to pick up and read. It was not Corona-friendly.

After ~3 years been closed for renovations the Glypthotek has finally reopened for the public. Really beautiful place with a great constellation allowing you to walk amongst statues. Some newer than the others but overall a great experience
