Culture Night at the Glyptotek - With the senses at play in the Roman Empire!

At Culture Night we dive into our new fascinating exhibition on “Power and Fashion in the Roman Empire”.

Access to the Glyptotek is only with a Cultural Passport.

The Culture Pass costs only DKK 125 and gives access to all events in the program, and you can bring two children under 12 for free.

The Culture Pass also provides access to free transport by bus, train and metro in the Capital Area zones 1-99 for the Culture Passport holder and two children under 12 years of age.

The exhibition focuses on the use of clothing, hair, makeup and accessories by the Romans and the power elite in the form of jewelry, shoes and perfumes.

With scents and meditative music, we bring stories from antiquity to life, and on Culture Night you can experience the exhibition Power and Fashion in the Roman Empire in a new way, including through our three unique tours of the exhibition, a drawing workshop for children and a meditative sound work in the Festival Hall.

In Picnic, the museum's café, you can enjoy a delicious meal and refreshments overlooking the palm trees of the Winter Garden.

Reservations are not available at Kulturnatt.
The kitchen closes at 20.00.

The café is open with drinks until 23:30.

Draw the clothes of the statues - Drawing workshop for children
6 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.

The ancient Greeks and Romans dressed in clothes of great colors, but you can't tell when you look at the sculptures of the Glyptotek. The original colors are gone, and in addition, the sculptures often lack arms and legs. Something needs to be done about that!

Come to Culture Night at Glyptoteket and draw togas, hats, sunglasses, new feet and sandals for the sculptures.

In the Festsalen you can listen to Invisible Archaeology, a meditative choral work composed by Anja Jacobsen, performed by Valby Vocal Group and recorded by Peter Barnow.

Through song and rhythm, you are invited into the temples of antiquity, where the colorful marble sculptures were surrounded by music and scents and dressed in precious textiles.
