Alte Pinakothek

The Alte Pinakothek was founded by Ludwig I, designed by Leo von Klenze, and opened in 1836. It houses the collections of Bavarian dukes, electors, and kings, as well as the treasures of dissolved monasteries. Today, the museum holds priceless masterpieces of 14th- to 18th-century art. A combination day pass for all three Pinakothek museums costs €12 (a €7 saving); annual pass; €70 (a €40 saving). The Alte Pinakothek was largely reconstructed after World War II. Top 10 Paintings 1.
