Staatliche Antikensammlungen — Attraction in Munich

I visited the Staatliche Antikensammlungen after purchasing a ticket for the Glyptothek museum, not knowing that it also entitled me to visit this museum across the street. However, my experience here was far from satisfactory.

Firstly, unlike other museums in Germany where you deposit a euro or two for locker use and get it back afterwards, this museum charges a non-refundable €1.00 for locker use. This was a bit of a downside for me.

Upon entering the museum, I was told that I needed to pay €1.00 to store my backpack. Considering it was my last day in Munich and I had other places to visit, I was unsure if it was worth spending an extra euro and my time at this museum, which I hadn’t initially planned to visit.

The museum staff seemed to get upset when I expressed my doubts. I decided to take a peek inside the museum (still within the entrance area) to see if it was worth my time and money. However, I was shouted at and harassed by the staff, which was very unpleasant.

I explained to one of the staff members that I already had a ticket and just wanted to see if it was worth my time. They seemed to understand, but the harassment continued when I tried to take another peek, leading me to leave the museum.

In hindsight, I believe I made the right decision not to spend my last day in Munich at this museum. The collection does not seem impressive compared to other museums in the city, and the staff’s rudeness left a bad...

One of the three impressive monumental buildings that we enjoyed viewing at Königsplatz is Staatliche Antikensammlungen (State Collection of Greek and Roman Antiquities). These buildings were all designed and built in the 19th-century and represent the Three Orders of ancient Greek and Roman architecture.

Staatliche Antikensammlungen is of the Corinthian Order and has the appearance of an ancient Greek temple with a lovely portico lined with columns and impressive facade. It complements very well the Ionic style Glyptothek (Ancient Sculpture Museum) directly opposite Staatliche Antikensammlungen as well as the Doric style Propylaea city gate. These are all buildings that fans of architecture will enjoy viewing at Königsplatz.

It is also worth note that Staatliche Antikensammlungen is known for its impressive collections of antiquities from Greece, Etruria and Rome. We were unable to view the collection within the museum on this trip due to time constraints but look forward to doing so as seeing the interior of Staatliche Antikensammlungen during a future...

Me and my husband came here as we had a joint ticket from the glyptothek museum. We also went earlier at the small Egyptian museum. My husband had a small paperbag, the one for postcards which we had inside 2 Egyptian postcards. We walk inside and a lady with Balkan accent starts screaming at us asking us, asking what we had in the bag, if we brought food. I was about to laugh and just replied that it is a postcard paperbag ( how would food fit in that tiny, thin bag?) rest of the staff didn't even speak English, they didnt have a map but told us in German there were 3 floors with the ground included, no explanation in English, no guidance, no members on the floors. The floors are incredible small, between this one and the one in Crete I don't know which was smaller. Just some vases inside, felt like I was in Knosos again but nothing to see. Wouldn't reccomend wasting your money. Just go see the egyptian...
