The Staatliche Antikensammlungen is a museum in Munich. It is located on Koenigsplatz, opposite the Glyptothek. It preserves a huge collection of antiquities: with the exception of the Greek and Roman marble statues (preserved in the glyptotheque), the collection preserves Greek and Etruscan vases, porcelain and glass works of antiquity, bronze and terracotta statues and jewels. The collection also includes a series of vases by Attic ceramographers commonly called the "Painters of Munich".

The building in which the museum is located was built, like the Glyptotheque, at the behest of the King of Bavaria Ludwig I and was completed in 1848. The project was inspired by a temple of the late classical Greek age, and has different proportions than the Glyptotheque , from which it also differs in other details, such as the use of Corinthian columns. Above the large portico of the building, supported by columns, there is the tympanum, in which Bavaria is represented as the protector of the arts and industry. Core of the collection derives from Ludwig I, a lover of classical antiquity, who charged his art agent in Rome to buy only pieces of exceptional quality, because he knew that in his collection he would never be able to compete. from a quantitative point of view, with the museums of Rome, Paris or London. The inventory of the museum experienced important increases in the twentieth century, through the donation of the collection of ancient terracotta by the archaeologist Paul Arndt (1865-1937). Of particular importance was also the donation of the collection of bronzes and jewels, inherited from the banker James Loeb (1867-1933). During the Second World War, parts of the collection that had been transferred to the Neue Pinakothek were lost in the bombing. The latest significant addition to the museum was the addition of over 700 gems and ring stones to the Helmut Hansmann (1924-1996) collection.

The Staatliche Antikensammlungen and the Glyptotheque of Munich can be visited with a single ticket.
