What makes it 77% Kids-Friendly: Children enter free and can join weekend workshops and holiday crafts, yet fragile statues dominate and require steady supervision and calm behaviour from kids under 12.
Why 2–3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: Allows time to explore highlights, join family programs, and take breaks without tiring the kids.
Wander the Winter Garden:
Stroll under palm trees around the central fountain in a light-filled hall.
Tip: Bring a small snack and relax on the benches; ask for a children’s map at the desk.
Explore Ancient Mediterranean Sculptures:
See Greek, Roman, Egyptian statues and sarcophagi up close.
Tip: Point out animal carvings to younger kids; take photos of favorite pieces.
Join Weekend Family Program:
Free guided tours, stories and art activities for kids every Saturday and Sunday.
Tip: Arrive 15 minutes early to reserve a spot; check start times online first.
Make Crafts in Summer Workshops:
Paper-flower workshops run June 28–August 10 for children.
Tip: Sign up on arrival; workshops fill fast, so come early.

It is a beautiful place with a lot of interesting and carefully arranged statue exhibition. Starting from ancient Egypt, via Rome and Greek to Danish and Norsk sculptures. We enjoyed the time there and the Wintergarten is very nice as well.

Today I had the chance to visit the Glyptotek in Copenhagen. As much as my stubborn soul resisted going, this decision — on the advice of my dear friend— turned out to be absolutely right. I have never in my life (and I say this without any dramatization) seen sculptures like the ones here. From the very first step into the museum, I was enchanted by its architecture: at first glance, it feels ...

Beautiful museum! I absolutely love when museums are filled with statues and this one was filled with them! The building is stunning as well, with sort of an indoor garden by the entrance and big rooms filled with artwork. There’s also a rooftop which was a surprise and has a stunning view of Copenhagen. The reason why I’m not giving them more stars is because of how rude the staff were in the mu...
