Neue Pinakothek

Neue Pinakothek
With its dark glazed exterior and elegant interior, the design of this gallery is a match for its prestigious works from the 1800s.

The New Pinakothek has a mesmerizing façade made primarily of dark glass panes intersected by concrete pillars. It holds an eclectic selection of paintings and sculptures that have mastered the various art forms of the 19th century. For a detailed understanding of the works on display in this acclaimed gallery, take a tour during your visit to the New Pinakothek.

The gallery is divided into numerous sections, including areas for sculpture, German realism, English paintings and international paintings. For extra context, listen to the audio guide in English that is included in the admission fee.

Study the various works crafted by visionary artists such as Edouard Manet, Claude Monet and Vincent van Gogh. The works of art stand in well-lit, spacious rooms and cover romantic, neoclassical, gründerzeit and art nouveau movements. Inspect the somber impressionist works by Paul Cézanne that paint a picture of pastoral France.

Regular events and workshops are set up in this museum, as well as recitals and readings. Enjoy lunch on the terrace of the Restaurant Hunsinger, which backs onto a pond. Visit the gift shop to browse the selection of souvenirs, postcards and posters, among other items.

The gallery stakes its claim as the world’s first museum dedicated to the permanent display of contemporary artworks. Its initial building was destroyed in World War II, before being rebuilt by architect Alexander von Branca and opened in 1981.

Purchase a ticket or a day pass that incorporates the other galleries in the area. Those under 18 years old can enter this museum for free. It opens Wednesday through Monday from morning until late afternoon and stays open a little later on Wednesdays.

The New Pinakothek stands in Munich’s main museum area, a little north of the historic center. It is part of the Maxvorstadt district. Travel to the museum easily via tram or bus. Stay in the area for other sights such as the Old Pinakothek, the Museum Brandhorst and Die Neue Sammlung.
