Hiking

The name “Glyptothek” is a modern made-up word. It is formed from the ancient Greek words “glyphein” (to chisel) and “theke” (shelf), meaning a storage place for sculptures. Here, Greek and Roman marble statues of the highest quality are displayed in an ideal setting.

Leo von Klenze designed and built the Glyptothek on Königsplatz between 1816 and 1830 on behalf of the Bavarian King Ludwig I.
Here you will find the information provided by Ludwig l. Collected Roman and Greek sculptures provide accommodation.
