Neue Pinakothek

4 BradJill - 4 years ago

The Neue Pinokothek (€7 per adult) is a modern art museum in Munich where you view a quality collection of 19th century modern art. Opening hours are 10am to 6pm daily with extended hours on Wednesday evening until 8pm. The museum is closed on Tuesdays.

Entrance fee includes an audio guide which is allows you to learn more about individual artworks as you make your way through various galleries. Rooms are numbered chronologically and there is a natural path which takes visitors through the entire collection.

During our midweek visit, there were few other visitors, allowing a relaxed visit throughout. Here you find a good representation of notable international artists such as Goya, Manet, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Van Gogh, Gainsborough, Turner, Klimt, Schiele amongst many others. There is also a good representation of German artists including Heinrich Maria von Hess, Peter von Hess, Peter von Cornelius and Caspar David Friedrich.

Our visit lasted around 2.5 hours. We enjoyed the collection and would return for another visit during future visits to Munich.

Note that the Die Pinakotheken museums in Munich are only €1 to enter on Sundays so try visit 2-3 on the day if you are a museum lover and want to save a bit on museum entry fees.

Amazing selection of art. With some true master pieces. Chance to get up close in a well designed building. Could easily spend the day here if you have the stamina. You don't get many opportunities to see the names of true works of art.

My favorite Pinakothek! Lots of very beautiful pieces of art exposed, well organized and quite big. I really love the last few rooms as I am a huge Klimt, Gaugin, Monet and Van Gogh fan. In Sundays the entrance is just 1€. Definitely worth a visit when in Munich.

It's an amazing museum, don't get me wrong, but I was disappointed at the lack of Impressionism artwork and of the periods from there on, since that is my personal favourite. The entrance is also a bit expensive (5€ for students during the week). A pro is that it is open until 20h few days a week so there is no rush.

Spending Sunday there was great. As it is well known, the ticket costs only 1 Euro every Sunday. You can also buy an audio guide to understand the paintings better. Definitely to worth to visit. Big bags has to be left in cloakroom (costs under 1 Euro) or in safe deposit boxes (no charge) which are downstairs.

Large museum and extremely well curated with a mix of German and other artists represented. As the world's first museum devoted to contemporary art it continues to live up to the standards of excellence it has established since the day it opened its doors. For the casual to avid art lover there are many fantastic evenings to be spent exploring the works in his gallery

Cold, heartless architecture hosts a stripped collection of modern art. Most rooms were closed. Terribly rude service at the restaurant. Maybe the soul-less environment influences their mood?
