The Alte (Old) Pinakothek (art gallery) is one of the leading art galleries in the world. Built between 1826 and 1836, it is one of three Pinakotheks in Munich, and focuses primarily on European art from the 13th to 18th centuries. The German, Dutch, Flemish, and Italian school are most well represented. There are over 800 paintings displayed at any given time, including some by nearly all of the masters in that time period including Rubens, El Greco, Rembrandt, Botticelli, da Vinci, Titian and numerous others. Rubens is particularly featured here, including his “Big” Last Judgment painting.

This is THE place to visit for lovers of old paintings. The collection of masters from the late medieval and renaissance periods is simply overwhelming. The audio-guide is also very well made and very instructive. I spent a full 3 hours in there without being bored a single minute. I especially recommend to check out the Dürer and Raffael paintings.

A stunning old masters art museum (featuring all the art stolen in WWII I'm sure). A massive Hall featuring what must be the largest collection in the world of Sir Peter Paul Reubens masterpieces... I simply could not leave.
