Experiences for Children
Exciting activities are awaiting children and their grown-ups

The Children's Glyptotek
At the Glyptotek, children and adults are equally small under the great dome – and equally fascinated by the sculptures and the thousand-year-old stories they tell.
The museum is large. What should you do? Get inspiration for you visit.

Weekend at the Glyptotek
At 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM, our hosts invite you to join them on a journey through the museum, sharing stories that bring the art to life for both kids and grown-ups.
Note: The guided tour will be in Danish.
Between 11 AM and 3 PM, you’ll find our hosts in the sculpture hall behind the café, near the statue of Perseus slaying Medusa. Here, you’re welcome to settle in, put on headphones, and listen to tales while your hands stay busy.
Sometimes we draw, other times we build small sculptures using different materials. You’re free to sit on the cushions for as long as you like, and along the way, you’ll get ideas and inspiration for what you can discover on your own in the museum.
Price and Booking
Weekend at the Glyptotek is free with paid museum admission.
Tickets for the guided tours cannot be booked in advance but are available at the ticket counter on the day. Tickets are not issued to groups larger than five. Larger groups are kindly referred to book a private tour.
Children and young people under 18 always enter free of charge.


Glypto Games
May you play at the Glyptotek? Definitely!
We have developed our very own Glypto Games that invite you to experience the art and architecture in new ways, calm down, concentrate, and maybe they’ll also make you laugh. Both children and adults can join in on the fun.
The games can be adapted depending on your mood and the age of the children.
Find the Glypto Games in the Information at the museum.
Listening Stations
Find our listening stations for children around the museum.
In the listening stations, children are invited to put on headphones, listen to stories and learn about the art. The low stations are specifically for children.
Preparation and Practical Tips
It can feel overwhelming to be at a museum if you constantly have to tell your child not to touch, run, shout, etc.
Therefore, it can be a good idea to prepare before the visit.


Season Ticket for Children
Children can get their own season tickets and explore the museum as well as the many children’s activities as often as they like – and bring an adult of their choice for free each time!
You can get the season ticket for children under 18+ 1 guest at the Ticket Counter at the museum or online.
