Alte Pinakothek

Alte Pinakothek is an art museum in Munich that opened in 1836. It is part of the Bavarian State Painting Collections. It houses works ranging from the Middle Ages to the mid-18th century and ranks among the most significant art galleries in the world. The building was constructed between 1826 and 1836 by Leo von Klenze—designed to be the most advanced museum structure of the 19th century—and was later damaged during the Second World War. It was subsequently restored by Hans Döllgast between 1952 and 1957, though in a modified form.
