The third of the Kunstareal art museums in Munich is the Alte Pinakothek. This is one of the oldest art galleries in the world, and it is a must-see destination for classical art fans.
When it was ordered built in 1826 by King Ludwig I, the Old Pinakothek was the largest museum in the world; its neo-renaissance exterior soon became the model for museums located throughout Europe.
The works of art displayed in the Arte Pinakothek come from the 14th through the 18th centuries. The most celebrated works come from the Old Masters, including artists like Rembrandt van Rijn, Frans Hals and Leonardo da Vinci.
There is a heavy emphasis on German painters, so look for works by Albrecht Dürer and Matthias Grünewald, among many others.
