Since 1971, the museums on Königsplatz have been supported by the Association of Friends and Patrons of the Glyptothek and the State Collections of Antiquities, which has around 950 members. Your contribution not only enables us to purchase important works of art and preserve our world-famous collections, but also to offer a diverse and extensive programme of special exhibitions, lectures and exclusive guided tours. The Friends of the Glyptothek offer you a deep and personal experience of antiquity – far beyond a simple visit to the museum.
Your antiquity needs you! Deepen your passion and become part of the Glypto Friends.

As a member of the Friends and Patrons Association, you will experience antiquity in a very personal way – far removed from everyday museum life. Your benefits at a glance:
- Exclusive insights: Take part in curator-led tours and get a glimpse behind the scenes that would otherwise remain hidden from the public.
- Knowledge and community: Exchange ideas with like-minded people at the Glypto Salon or private evening lectures. The annual Glypto Festival in the courtyard is a convivial highlight.
- Inspiration while travelling: Discover the original sites of ancient civilisations on our expert-led study trips (e.g. to Italy or Greece).
- Free admission: Enjoy free admission to the State Collections of Antiquities and the Glyptothek.
