NEUE PINAKOTHEK
The Neue Pinakothek houses collections from the 18th and 19th centuries and includes masterpieces by Van Gogh, Cézanne and Monet.
The New Pinakothek was founded by Ludwig I of Bavaria in the mid-19th century originally to house his private collection, as a complement to the Alte Pinakotek. Its buildings were destroyed during the Second World War and then rebuilt in a post-modernist style by Alexandre de Brancas between 1975 and 1981.
While the exterior of the building is not very appealing, the interior layout is surprising. The 22 rooms house more than 500 works in a luminous setting that transports us through two centuries of history. The collection includes works of European art from the 18th and 19th centuries, covering all the major artistic movements of the period. The gallery also presents about 50 sculptures from the Rococo to the Jugendstil and European painting of the 1800s. It is here that one can admire some of the great masterpieces of Édouard Manet, Francisco Goya, John Constable, Eugène Delacroix, William Turner, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh and many others.
This Neue Pinakothek not only takes us on a journey through history, it also transports us around the world. Synonymous with a period of discovery and travel, the paintings take us to Italy, Greece, England, Austria, Germany (well represented by its artists) and many other countries. The Neue Pinakothek also presents high quality temporary exhibitions.
