Neue Pinakothek
The Neue Pinakothek is an art museum in Munich, Germany. Its focus is European Art of the 18th and 19th century. Together with the Alte Pinakothek and the Pinakothek der Moderne it is part of Munich's "Kunstareal" (the "art area"). The museum was founded by King Ludwig I of Bavaria in 1853. The original building was destroyed during World War II. The current building opened in 1981 and was designed by architect Alexander Freiherr von Branca. The museum houses an expanded collection of European painting from classicism to art nouveau with works from Francisco de Goya, Louis David, Thomas Gainsborough, Caspar David Friedrich, Eugene Delacroix, William Turner, Wilhelm Leibl, Max Liebermann, Camille Pissarro, Giovanni Segantini, Georges-Pierre Seurat, Paul Signac, Alfred Sisley, Carl Spitzweg, Hans Von Marees, Gustav Klimt end Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. The so-called "Tschudi Contribution" in 1905/1914 led to an extraordinary collection of masterpieces of Impressionism with paintings from Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Paul Cezanne, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh and others. Therefore it is one of the most important museum of art of the 19th century in the world. Also sculptures of the 19th century with works from Bertel Thorvaldsen , Antonio Canova and others are exhibited.
