The collection of the Alte Pinakothek, one of the most significant in the world, encompasses over 700 artworks from the 14th to the 18th cen turies. Here, milestones of the European painting tradition join to form a survey, in unique concentration, that spans the development from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance and Baroque, through to the late Rococo period. Experience encounters with works by Dürer, Raphael, Leonardo, Titian, El Greco, Rubens, Rembrandt, Boucher and their contemporaries. The museum, contracted by the Bavarian King Ludwig I, was built by Leo von Klenze between 1826 and 1836 in the Neoclassical style, which at the time represented a new and pioneering effort in European museum architecture. Originally, the Alte Pinakothek was intended to make suf ficient space available for the art collection of the House of Wittelsbach. Over and above this, King Ludwig I sought to use the construction of the Alte Pinakothek as a means of providing the general public access to his collection. In addition to the permanent presentation of outstanding works from the golden ages of German, Flemish, Dutch, French, Italian and Spanish painting, a host of temporary special exhibitions, guided tours and events make a visit worthwhile. Due to Renovation works to Improve Energy Efficiency until 2017 certain parts of the Alte Pinakothek will be temporarily closed.

The Alte Pinakothek and the Neue Pinakothek, together with the Pinakothek der Moderne, form a unique museum complex with art works from the Late Middle Ages to the present day. The Museum Brandhorst supplements in particular the collection focus of the Pinakothek der Moderne in the modern and contemporary art areas. Along with the Lenbachhaus museum, the Glyptothek and the State Antiques Collection at Königsplatz, and the Museum of Egyptian Art, the Kunstareal Munich (art quarter), located between the city centre and Schwabing, provides visitors with an opportunity to experience the entire spectrum of art spanning two thousand centuries. In addi tion, the Munich Documentation Centre for the History of National Socialism, which is currently under construction and set to open in spring 2015, will be a place of learning and commemoration. The Kunstareal is thus, with its 16 state and city collections and exhibition venues, its more than 40 galleries and numerous cultural institu tions surrounding the Pinakothek museums and the Lenbachhaus museum, as well as a broad diversity of university-related facilities, a culture and knowledge district of supra-regional radiance in the

The distinctive building, designed by the Berlin-based architectural office Sauerbruch Hutton, immediately makes a striking impression owing to the 36,000 ceramic rods in 23 different colour glazes that adorn its facade. Located in close proximity to the Pinakothek museums, the Museum Brand horst was opened in 2009 and supplements the Kunstareal Munich (art quarter) with its impressive collection of modern and contemporary art. The collection of the Museum Brandhorst encompasses more than 1,000 works by ground-breaking artists from the second half of the 20th century through to the present day, and is steadily expanded through acquisitions of current art. With over 170 works by Cy Twombly, the Museum Brandhorst is in the unique position to offer visitors an overview of the artistic development of this exceptional artist and is thus the most com prehensive collection outside of the USA, only comparable to the Menil Collection in Houston, Texas. The pioneering American champion of Pop Art, Andy Warhol, is also represented with a wealth of works from all creative phases, making it unique in all of Europe. Further focal points of the Brandhorst Collection include works by Joseph Beuys, Jannis Cy Twombly, Lepanto VII (detail), 2001 © Cy Twombly Foundation Kounellis, Sigmar Polke, Georg Baselitz, Gerhard Richter, Bruce Nau man, Damien Hirst, Franz West, Cady Noland, Robert Gober and Mike CY TWOMBLY | ANDY WARHOL | JOSEPH BEUYS | JANNIS KOUNELLIS Kelley, among others.

The Türkentor – the only remaining fragment of the former Prince Arnulf barracks – marks a central position between the Pinakothek der Moderne and the Museum Brandhorst. This particular location in the Kunstareal Munich is, since fall 2010, home to the sculpture »Large Red Sphere« by the American artist Walter De Maria (1935–2013), one of the pioneers of Land Art, Minimal Art and Concept Art. The work is per manently on display for the public. The Munich work »Large Red Sphere« represents the artist’s last artistic dialogue with the spherical form in a specific architectural set ting. In close cooperation between the artist and Sauerbruch Hutton, the architects of the Museum Brandhorst, the Türkentor was renovated and redesigned for the presentation of the sculpture. Walter De Marias »Large Red Sphere« evokes an archetype. The sphere is a universal representation of the world, the celestial body and the cos mic, a symbol of eternal and cyclical renewal. Alone the granite sphere’s physical characteristics, reflected in its material, size (260 cm in dia meter) and weight (25 t), suggest a powerful physical presence. A greater discrepancy between the perfect and high-gloss spherical shape and the spatial enclosure with its diverse elements, forms and materials, is hardly imaginable. To this effect, the sculpture, within the cubic space in which numerous traces of its past are preserved, suggests an aes thetic setting that embodies both a contemplative experience as well as View of the interieur with Large Red Sphere (detail), Walter De Maria, 2010 a historic encounter.

With around 180 paintings by German artists, including well-known works by Arnold Böcklin, Moritz von Schwind, Franz von Lenbach, Hans von Marées and Anselm Feuerbach, the Schack Collection (Sammlung Schack) ranks as one of the most important museums devoted to Ger man painting of the 19th century. The Collection was established through the efforts of the collector and art patron Count Adolf Friedrich von Schack (1815–1894), and has remained unchanged in its formation since his death. Thus, it primarily contains history paintings and landscapes, but only a few examples (Carl Spitzweg) of genre painting, which was popular at the time. The landscape paintings visually capture the Medi terranean countries: Italy, Greece and, not least, Spain, which the Count knew intimately – more than most of his contemporaries – from his extensive travels there. In addition to works by German artists of the time, Count Schack collect ed copies of 16th and 17th century masterpieces, most notably by Vene tian artists, ranging from Giorgione and Titian to Tintoretto and Veronese.

The Sammlung Schack thereby represents not only an important docu Moritz von Schwind, Rübezahl (detail), ca. 1845 © Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen mentation of art collecting in Germany, but is, at the same time, a unique museum of the late romantic period, providing visitors with insight into ARNOLD BÖCKLIN | MORITZ VON SCHWIND | FRANZ VON LENBACH the attendant yearnings and dreams, as well as the world of images of HANS VON MARÉES | ANSELM FEUERBACH | CARL SPITZWEG | CARL this era that was shaped by journeys, literature, myths and ideals.
