the glyptothek, is my fovorite museum in munich featuring greco-roman architecture that was commissioned by the crown prince (later king) ludwig I of bavaria and contains sculptures dating from the archaic age (ca. 650 BCE) to the Roman era (ca. 14 CE). Among the most famous sculptures here are the "Barberini Faun" and the temple figures from Aegina. Other notable mosaics, sculptures, and reliefs can also be found here.
