The Alte Pinakothek in Munich is a landmark of European art history, housing one of the most significant collections of Old Master paintings in the world. Opened in 1836 and designed by Leo von Klenze, the museum was revolutionary for its time, with spacious, light-filled galleries that set a new standard for exhibiting art. Its holdings, built on the legacy of the Wittelsbach dynasty, span the 14th to the 18th centuries and include masterpieces by Dürer, Raphael, Rubens, Rembrandt, Titian, Botticelli, and van Dyck. Visitors can trace the evolution of artistic styles from the precision of Early Netherlandish painting to the drama of the Baroque, exploring over 700 works that reveal the richness and diversity of European creativity. Located in Munich’s Kunstareal, the Alte Pinakothek also temporarily displays select 19th-century works from the Neue Pinakothek during its renovation, offering a rare opportunity to experience centuries of art under one roof.
