Glyptothek, Greek and Roman sculpture museum in Königsplatz, Germany.
The Glyptothek exhibits ancient sculptures in a neoclassical building featuring marble walls, Ionic columns, and decorative niches across its exterior facade.
King Ludwig I of Bavaria commissioned architect Leo von Klenze to design this museum between 1816 and 1830 as part of his vision for Munich.
The collection includes Greek and Roman masterworks from 650 BCE to 550 CE, including the Munich Kuros, the Barberini Faun, and the Rondanini Medusa.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00, with extended hours until 20:00 on Thursdays, and provides wheelchair access throughout the building.
The museum walls contained colorful frescoes and stucco work by Peter von Cornelius and Wilhelm von Kaulbach before World War II damage.
