The Glyptothek, a museum dedicated to Greek statues, houses an enthralling collection of Greek, Roman, and Etruscan sculptures. This remarkable establishment was the brainchild of King Ludwig I and his gifted architect, Klenze, making it an essential stop on any visit to Munich. The city's deep-rooted connection with Greece, underscored by the ascension of the Regent's son, Otto, as the first King of Greece, is palpable throughout Munich.
During your tour of the Glyptothek, you'll gain valuable insights into ancient mythology and the evolution of sculpture and art. To ensure an optimal experience, tours are conducted in small groups. Many of the exhibits were once displayed in the Antiquarium at the Munich Residence, which means a visit to the Glyptothek perfectly complements a tour of the royal palace.
