Glyptoteket / The Glyptotek

Access preferences

Access to the exhibitions (Accessibility)

As a wheelchair user / person with reduced mobility you can access the museum in two ways, depending on which exhibition areas you wish to visit.

If you wish to visit changing special exhibitions in the building by Henning Larsen, The Ancient Mediterranean, the Winter Garden and the Central Hall, please arrive at the side entrance at Tietgensgade 25 during the museum’s opening hours. Here you can ring the doorbell and come into direct contact with the Glyptotek’s personnel.

If you wish to visit French Art 1800-1870, French art 1870-1925, Danish Art 1780-1930, and The Café Picnic, please use the doorbell by the entrance at the corner of Dantes Plads and Niels Brocks Gade. Here you will have direct access to the Ticket Desk and the Cloakroom in the basement via the lift.

Unfortunately it is not possible for wheelchair users to visit Egypt, Greek and Roman Sculpture, French and Danish Sculpture 1800-1920 and the roof terrace. This is due to the museum’s current facilities.

Groups of wheelchair users are asked to contact the museum before their visit.

Guide dogs (Animals)

You are welcome to bring your guide dog with you to the museum provided it is kept on a lead.

Hidden Disability Sunflower lanyard (Accessibility)

Visitors to the museum with a non-visible disability can wear a Hidden Disability Sunflower lanyard, if they wish to let staff and other visitors know that they need extra time, patience or assistance.

The museum hands out Hidden Disability Sunflower lanyards at the Glyptotek ticket office.

Toilets (Accessibility)

Accessible toilets are located in the basement by the Cloakroom and Ticket Desk as well as by the entrance to The Henning Larsen Building.
