Library

The Glyptotek possesses a research library which is open to the public.

In addition to serving the museum’s archaeologists, art historians and conservators, the library is aimed especially at students and researchers within the fields of Egyptology, Classical Archaeology and the History of Art.

First and foremost, the collection of books contains museum publications such as object and exhibition catalogues from museums all over the world and comparable collections, but also monographs, conference reports and numerous periodicals dealing with Egyptology, Classical Archaeology and Danish and French Art of the 19th century.

The books in the library are not to be removed from the library, but may be consulted in the museum’s reading room. Nor is it possible to make photocopies.

You can search for literature in The Library's database.
