We saw many beautiful paintings at the Alte Pinakothek Gallerie
Information
The collections of the Alte Pinakothek date back to the collecting zeal shown by the dukes, electors and kings of Bavaria from the House of Wittelsbach. King Ludwig I., the last and most important of the Wittelsbach collectors, commissioned the building from architect Leo von Klenze. It was opened in 1836, and became an archetype of classical museum architecture. Considerably damaged during the Second World War, the gallery was rebuilt by Hans Döllgast in 1957. However, rather then merely reconstructing the missing parts of the walls, these areas were replaced with bare brickwork, in order for them to remain as visible "wounds".
