Munich - Pinakotheken - exhibitions December 2024 and January 2025
Exhibitions at the turn of the year and in January 2025 - in the Alte Pinakothek, the Pinakothek der Moderne, the Museum Brandhorst and the Schack Collection
Every visitor to Munich should have seen Königsplatz and the art area - and the museum is a wonderful place to relax with top-class art
Munich. The New Year is fast approaching, so you should still plan a visit to a museum: If you are in Munich these days, you should treat yourself to a break in one of the city's large museums. Almost every house also has a coffee place to relax and a museum shop that offers something to take home with small souvenirs for those staying at home or exhibition and collection catalogs. The Pinakotheks in the art area of Munich's Maxvorstadt are part of the Bavarian State Painting Collections - as is the Schack Collection - and bring together the most renowned art collections worldwide. We briefly introduce them below and show the exhibition program of the houses at the end of the year and for January 2025. As Munich's museum district, the art area offers a diverse exhibition culture that every tourist should have seen. The Maxvorstadt district with the Pinakotheks and numerous art galleries can be easily reached from Munich's Königsplatz (stop U2 or bus 100).

The Pinakothek der Moderne
The Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich's art area - on Barer Straße - was opened over 20 years ago and combines four museums in one. Works from the fields of art, graphics, architecture and design are shown here - this museum is one of the largest collection houses in Europe.
The Neue Pinakothek in Munich
This museum of 19th century European art is located in the Munich art area. The Neue Pinakothek shows works that, in terms of history, lie between the core collections of the Alte Pinakothek with its Old Masters and the Pinakothek der Moderne with the art of the 20th and 21st centuries
The Neue Pinakothek will probably be completely renovated by 2029. Part of the collection is currently on display in the Alte Pinakothek (see exhibition list below).
The Alte Pinakothek in Munich
The Alte Pinakothek brings together more than 700 paintings by famous Old Masters - including works by Albrecht Dürer, Rembrandt, Albrecht Altdorfer, Sandro Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Titian and Peter Paul Rubens. The masterpieces of art history are on display in over 19 halls and 47 cabinets, among other things, in special exhibitions (see exhibition list below).
The Schack Collection
The Schack Collection (located in the Lehel district) houses a renowned collection of paintings and is part of the Bavarian State Painting Collections. The collection of Count Adolf Friedrich von Schack brings together paintings by well-known painters of the 19th century.
Location:
Schack Collection, Prinzregentenstraße 9, 80538 Munich
