Veröffentlicht von The Neue Pinakothek was commissioned by the Bavarian King Ludwig I in 1853. The gallery was the first museum of modern art in the world. In the 2nd World War the Neue Pinakothek was completely destroyed in air raids. Only 1976-1981 the museum was rebuilt.
The paintings on display in the Kunstmuseum Neue Pinakothek date from the period 1700-1900, while the Alte Pinakothek and Museum Pinokothek der Moderne, which are located in the neighbourhood, exhibit works of art from earlier or later periods.
Among the world-famous artists whose paintings are exhibited in the Neue Pinakothek are Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Carl Spitzweg, Caspar David Friedrich, Francisco de Goya, Edouard Manet, Paul Gauguin and many more. The Neue Pinakothek in Munich is thus one of the most important museums for painting from the 18th and 19th centuries in general.

Great bike city tour through Munich: The city center of Munich is quite large. It’s not easy to see everything on foot in one day. A bike tour is ideal. On this tour (3 to 3.5 hours) the bike comes from the city tour provider. Well done tour through Munich with sights in the center, English Garden etc.: More information and booking

Our tip: Sightseeing tour through Munich |
| A great possibility to see a lot of Munich in 1-2 days are the so called Hop On / Hop off buses. These are red double-decker buses in British style, which drive on 3 different routes through Munich. You can get off at many stops and continue with a later bus. Tickets for the hop on / hop off buses are much cheaper on the Internet at Getyourguide than on site. Further information: Click here |
