Alte Pinakothek

The Alte Pinakothek is an art museum in Munich, opened in 1836 to display the Wittelsbach collection of Old Master paintings. The long, free‑standing neo‑Renaissance building by Leo von Klenze pioneered the purpose‑built picture gallery with north‑lit cabinets and a sequence of halls and smaller cabinets for paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries.

As it stood in 1836

What Alte Pinakothek looked like in its prime.

A 150‑metre long, three‑storey neo‑Renaissance gallery faced in smooth yellow bricks with a measured rhythm of round‑arched openings at ground level and rectangular windows above. A pronounced cornice and a low hipped roof run the full length; the plan is a narrow central block flanked by broader wings. The south façade was designed as the principal frontage with an upper loggia and axial approach across a formal lawn. Roof skylight bands illuminate the upper‑floor galleries within.
