Munich - New Picture Gallery Neue Pinakothek
|
|
The original Neue Pinakothek, built between 1846 and 1853 by August von Voit (1801-70) and Friedrich von Gärtner (1792-1847), suffered heavy damage during the Second World War and had to be pulled down. Thereafter for many years the Gallery's collection of late 18th and 19th C. art was housed in the Haus der Kunst.
The new gallery, standing opposite the Alte Pinakothek and contrasting with it, was designed by Alexander von Branca and erected in 1975-80. It is 160m/525ft long by 100m/330ft deep and is the largest museum built in Germany since the last War.
