Alte Pinakothek is one of the world’s oldest art museums in Kunstareal, Munich.
This famous art gallery was built in 1826 and housed several European paintings, the oldest being the Wittelsbach collection. Highly modern in its approach towards art, it became a model for other new galleries. The museum was highly damaged in the World War II but was restored and opened to public soon after.
The collection of around eight hundred paintings enthrals the visitors and consists of Italian, German and Dutch paintings.
Visitors can also take a good look at the themed exhibitions which bring out the various facets of European art. The exhibitions include works from contemporary artists as well as the in-house works of art.
The museum also offers guided tours, art discussions, seminars, activities and workshops for visitors of all ages to enjoy.Web Site: http://www.pinakothek.de/alte-pinakothek/index_en.php?
