Customer Reviews
Another or the neoclassical buildings done by Leo von Klenze. I would totally recommend to go if You are visiting is part of Munich history and it has a very clear structure where you walk and time passes by without you noticing. Talking about the exposition and the museum itself. I think it is well structured and it gives the exposition space to breathe. I personally like to go there and draw. The entry on Sundays costs only one euro! So why not go?
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.
The museum is admittedly somewhat small but their collection is amazing with statues ranging from Hermes to homer. The archicture is amazing and the atmosphere is great. They have useful boards in both English and German. Great time and on Sunday only €1.
