Three museums, each highlighting a different period of art, are housed at Alte Pinakothek. The museums are within walking distance of each other, so you can easily explore all three on foot or by bicycle. First, stop by one of the oldest art galleries in the country. It houses a collection of at least 800 masterpieces from the Middle Ages to the end of the Rococo period. Look for works by Durer, Rubens, and da Vinci, among others. Next, visit the gallery that displays about 400 paintings and sculptures from the 19th century. Highlights include works by Monet, Degas, and Renoir. Finally, explore the gallery opened in 2002 to display a vast collection of modern art. Here, you'll find notable pieces by Picasso, Kandinsky, and Warhol. Purchase a day ticket for all three museums online. Put Alte Pinakothek at the forefront of your travel plans using our Munich online day trip planner.

Excellent collection. So many artists represented. If you love art, you may spend hours here. We visited on Sunday when it costs 1 Euro to enter. You can breeze through the galleries in an hour...

Very beautiful art museum. We enjoyed our experience. They are currently requiring a mask, vaccination record, AND negative covid Test. Because of these restrictions, it was pretty empty. We basically had the place to ourselves. We were able to purchase tickets at the door. With a 2€ deposit, we were able to use a locker in the coat room for a our bags and coats. The art was wonderful. I enjoyed some of the more fun paintings and the many by notable artists.

Beautiful and very informative. The audio guide was perfect English and really added to a lot of the artwork. Staff were great and kept good order around the paintings. Cafe looked nice but didn't stop for food.

We had a great time at the Art gallery. My mom got to see her favorite Monet painting :). Definitely worth a visit. On the weekend it is only 1 Euro entrance fee per person

A lovely museum. I enjoyed the pre-impressionist and impressionist exhibition the most, but everything is amazing. I whouldn't try to see everything at once, because there is just so much! The art is amazing and the museum holds a lot of famous art works. The staff is helpful and the gift shop is nice. If you like classic to impressionist European art, this is a great place to visit.

Many Flemish art and Italian Renaissance painters, which I love, are on display together with a wide range of other artists and periods, from the end of Middle Ages to approximately 1800. I found very convenient the combo ticket that allowed me to visit both the Modern and the Old Art Gallery with a total price of just 12€. I had a refreshing break between the two galleries at the café of the Old one, which offered a good variety of cakes and hot drinks.
