The Old Pinakothek is a museum of art in Munich and one of the most important and oldest tableaux-galleries in the world.

In 10 halls and 47 cabinets the development of the painting comes alive with the more than 800 masterpieces of European artists from the Middle Age to the ending Rokoko, e.g. the Venice master Tizian, the Dutch Baroque artist Frans Hals, or Rubens, placed in the centre of the museum. The German painters Altdorfer and Dürer built another peak in this gallery. The inventiory is part of the Bavarian Collection of the State.

The building built by Leo von Klenze was finished in 1836, and is considered as one of the masterpieces of architecture. It was a measure for museums from Rome to St. Petersburg. The broad renovation of the interior gave the Old Pinakothek a renewed apperance since 1998.

Across from the Old Pinakothek there is the New Pinakothek with pieces from the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. The Pinakothek of Modern Art completes the museums with modern pieces from the 20th and 21th century.
