Slip into the Museum für Abgüsse Klassischer Bildwerke, a free Maxvorstadt gallery of classical sculpture casts. Browse Greek and Roman figures at your own pace, perhaps sketching one that catches your eye.
Full description
The Museum für Abgüsse Klassischer Bildwerke fills an elegant building with plaster casts of celebrated Greek and Roman sculptures, letting visitors see the classical canon in one place. Admission is free, with a donation box near the entrance, and reviewers describe it as a hidden gem, especially for artists who sit and sketch individual figures.
The arrangement of the statues is somewhat chaotic, which some visitors find part of its charm. It suits a short, quiet stop of around 45 minutes.

A very nice morning well spent here. Free entrance but if you feel like a small donation you can do so via a sculpture thats close to the entrance. The aesthetically pleasing building houses a great amount of sculptures on every floor (even basement). Note that theres no place for locking your bag and no cafe
