Antikensammlungen (Antiquities Collections)
An essential stop for anyone interested in ancient art, this museum’s five main-floor halls house a world-class collection of more than 650 Greek vases, from a pre-Mycenaean version carved in 3000 B.C. from a mussel shell to large Greek and Etruscan vases. If you like antiquities but ancient vases ain’t your thing, opt for the more interesting Glyptothek across the square.
