Beautiful old museum. Long story of Bavarian
The Glyptothek is current closed for renovations and will not be open again until 2021. I just wish the website mentioned it. Had it not been for the Propylaea and the Staatliche Antikensammlungen museum opposite Glyptothek, the day would've been a total loss. The entirety of the building is covered up during the renovations. At best, you can see the roof from the steps of Staatliche Antikensammlungen.
Beautiful little museum with a rich history. Would have liked more information on each statue that I could read at my own pace.
Good museum to check out
Very nice place to feel this great City.
Great museum if you are into classic and Greek art. I exited overwhelmed of the great collection of mainly sculptures from the antique Greece that have been around for literally centuries. Definitely a must for history lovers.
One of the three impressive monumental buildings that we enjoyed viewing at Königsplatz is Glyptothek (Ancient Sculpture Museum). This is an early 19th century building built by German architect, Leo von Klenze, who designed each of these buildings based on the Three Orders of ancient Greek and Roman architecture. Glyptothek is of the Ionic Order and has the appearance of an ancient Greek temple with a lovely portico lined with columns, detailed pediment and facade lined with sculpture filled niches. It complements very well the Corinthian style Staatliche Antikensammlungen (State Collection of Greek and Roman Antiquities) directly opposite Glypotothek as well as Propylaea city gate, which is of the Doric Order. Fans of architecture will enjoy seeing each of these buildings at Königsplatz. Glypothek is also a museum which houses a large collection of ancient Greek and Roman sculptures. We were not able to spend time inside the museum on this particular trip due to time constraints but look forward to spending time there to see the collection and seeing the interior of Glyptothek during future visits to Munich.
