Full description
The Staatliche Antikensammlungen occupies an elegant 19th-century hall in Maxvorstadt and displays decorative arts from ancient civilizations, including vases and small objects. Reviewers praise the classical architecture and the quality of the collection, though one found the exhibition space limited if you expect large statues or grand displays.
Staff noise from the ticket desk carries on the ground floor. It is a quick, focused visit of about 45 minutes for those interested in antiquity.

Not so popular as the Glyptothek across the square but packed with artefacts, ceramics, bronze, gold and precious gems. In the lower level you will find displayed one of the most beautiful Fayum mummy portraits.
