The basics
The exterior of Neue Pinakothek—a gloomy postmodern mish-mash which has aged poorly—is the least impressive of the three museums bearing the Pinakothek tag, but once inside all is forgiven. The Munich hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus stops at the museum, and many guided day trips from Frankfurt come here. For a deep dive into the art collection, consider taking a private art and history tour of Munich.
Things to know before you go

How to get there

When to get there
The museum is open every day except Tuesday and has extended hours on Wednesday evenings. It’s a great spot to visit on a rainy day.
Alte Pinakothek and Pinakothek Der Moderne
The other two Pinakothek museums house collections that easily live up to the Neue Pinakothek. The Alte Pinakothek showcases works from the fourteenth to eighteenth centuries, while the Pinakothek Der Moderne comprises four smaller museums dedicated to art, works on paper, design, and architecture.
