Neue Pinakothek

The Neue Pinakothek is an art museum in Munich housing European art from the 18th to early 20th centuries within a modern building. The exhibition halls span multiple levels and present artworks organized by artistic movements and periods.

Founded in 1853 by King Ludwig I to collect and display European artworks, the institution reflects his vision for art in Bavaria. The original structure was destroyed during World War II, and the current building reopened in 1981 with a contemporary design.

The collection features works by Van Gogh, Klimt, and Cézanne, which remain accessible through displays at partner locations. These paintings reflect the artistic movements that shaped Europe from the 18th century through the early 20th century.

The museum is currently closed for renovations until 2029, but selected artworks are displayed at partner locations including the Alte Pinakothek. Online access to around 25,000 artworks allows virtual exploration of the collection during the closure period.

The institution offers online access to a comprehensive digital collection of around 25,000 artworks, allowing visitors to explore from home. This digital approach has become especially valuable during the renovation period when the physical museum remains closed.
