Neue Pinakothek: Neue Pinakothek
  • Tip Rating:
  • Right across the street from the Old Pinakothek is the new one, which is devoted to paintings from the nineteenth century. The museum was founded in 1853 by King Ludwig I of Bavaria, who had it built to house his privately financed collection of works by (then) contemporary artists.

    The current building was opened in 1981. Since they have greatly expanded their collections in recent years, they claim that the Neue Pinakothek "is now the most important museum of art of the nineteenth century in the world." (Hmm..., I would have picked the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. Orsay has a much nicer building, in any case.)

    When I went to the Neue Pinakothek in November 2006 over half the rooms were closed for renovation, including the popular impressionist collections, so they were only charging 2 Euros for a look at the rest, instead of the usual 5.50 Euros.

    Sunday admission is only 1 Euro, by the way. (Used to be free until about two years ago.)

    They are open daily except Tuesdays from 10.00 - 17.00, Wednesdays from 10.00 - 20.00. Closed on Tuesdays and on May 1st (which is a holiday in Germany), Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Eve.

  • Right across the lawn and a small street from the Alte Pinakothek, is the Neue Pinakothek, the more modern museum that houses an impressive collection of 18th and 19th century European art. The museum, which was also founded by King Ludwig I, picks up where the Alte leaves off (the Old Picture Gallery) containing art from the 14th through the 18th centuries). The museum features art of various styles from the classicism of the 18th c. to art nouveau of the 19th.

    It's open daily except Tuesdays, 10 am to 5 pm and on Wednesdays, 10 am to 8 pm.

    Neue Pinakothek: Sunflowers and More

  • The Munich Van Gogh Sunflower Painting - Munich

    The Neue Pinakothek has a glorious collection especially of impressionist paintings. It also owns one of the several sunflower paintings by Van Gogh. This is an incredible work of art: Through the artist's well known peculiar way to apply a lot of paint, the flowers look totally real, like dried ones behind glass.

    Especially if your visiting time is limited I'd suggest doing the round tour anticyclically so that you get to the impressionists first.

    Wheelchair acess, with many ramps inside the building. Very good cafeteria.

    Neue Pinakothek: Modern European Art in Munich

    The Neue Pinakothek houses mostly European paintings from the late 18th to early 20th Century. Highlights include works by Gustav Klimt and Vincent Van Gogh, although I prefer the brighter version of Sunflowers in London's National Gallery. The original building, built in 1853, was badly damaged in 1944 and razed in 1949. The current museum was completed in 1981, made from sandstone and granite. Worth a visit if you like modern European art...take advantage of free Sunday admission!

    Neue Pinakothek: Neue Pinakothek
    The Neue Pinakothekýs original building, dating back to the year 1853, went destroyed during World War II, and so a new, sandstone one, was constructed in 1970s. The gallery offers one of the most wide-ranging collections of 19th-century art in Germany, made up of paintings and sculptures. Among the artists featured there are Francisco Joseý de Goya, Caspar David Friedrich and Edouard Manet.

    This great art museum covers works from 1800 to the early 20th century. The most spectacular painting here (in my opinion) is Walter Crane "Neptune`s horses".
