The Glyptotek is an old building and subject to a listed building which means that the museum is not optimally appointed for, for instance, wheelchair users. Naturally we do what we can to make the museum as accessible as possible for all. There is, accordingly, access to most exhibitions, either by use of a handicap lift or normal lift.

You are always welcome to contact us at: info@glyptoteket.dk or T (+45) 3341 8141, so we can provide guidance.

The Glyptotek has joined the Accessibility Label scheme. Find information about accessibility here.

Free Admission for disability attendants
Persons who are accompanying handicapped visitors have free admission to the museum.

Persons who are accompanying handicapped visitors can also get a free ticket to any event at the museum. Please contact us at: info@glyptoteket.dk or T (+45) 3341 8141.

Arrival
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 any trouble should occur, please contact us on T (+45) 3341 8141, so we can provide assistance.

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.

At the Museum
Manual wheelchairs can be borrowed at the museum. These can be delivered to those who require them by the attendants in the Entrance Hall.

Please note that certain areas of the museum can only be visited if you are able to negotiate individual steps unassisted, or with the aid of a companion. Our attendants will do their best to guide.

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

See the museum plan, which has details of wheelchair access

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.
