This temple-like structure is the adequate hull for a prominent collection of Greek and Roman statues. On warm summer evenings its frontal base is crowded with people enjoying the setting sun, most of them students at the Technical University nearby. Bring with you your Badminton bats or Frisbee disk because the lawns around Glyptothek give you plenty of space for playing or picnicking (the same is true for the surroundings of Alte Pinakothek, see below), though sometimes you have to drive away a dog. If you are more the brainy type, you also can play or watch outdoor chess. Chessmen and boards available on the right side of the square between Glyptothek and Brienner Straße.
