Glyptothek Munich with Ticket

Experience the Glyptothek, one of the most remarkable collections of Greek, Roman, and Etruscan sculptures in the world. This unique museum, devoted primarily to Greek statues, was established by King Ludwig I and designed with the expertise of his talented architect Klenze. Explore the historical and cultural ties between Munich and Greece, visible throughout the city, including the period when the Regent’s son Otto became the first Greek King. During the tour, you will gain insights into the myths, symbolism, and artistic development behind each sculpture, learning how ancient civilizations expressed their beliefs, ideals, and social structures through art. Visiting the Glyptothek is an essential experience for those interested in classical art and the heritage of Munich.

Discover the advantage of small group tours, which allow for a more personal and immersive experience. You will have the opportunity to engage closely with the artworks, ask questions, and receive detailed explanations about the techniques, materials, and historical context of each piece. Many of the sculptures were previously displayed in the Antiquarium in the Munich Residence, making a visit here an excellent complement to exploring the royal palace. Experience the evolution of sculpture and ancient art, from mythological representations to real-life depictions, while enjoying a guided tour that balances storytelling, history, and visual appreciation in a focused and enriching way. This private, small-group approach ensures that each guest can fully absorb the cultural and historical significance of the museum’s treasures.
