there are more rubens here than in any other museum in europe. located in a post-modernist style building just opposite the alte pinakothek is the neue pinakothek, or new art gallery. this collection was also conceived by ludwig i and was intended to showcase the modern art of the day. it holds european painting and sculpture dating from the second half of the 18th century to the beginning of the 20th century. along with a healthy selection of german painters are such greats as van gogh... and cezanne. munich recently rounded out its art museum triad with a gallery devoted to contemporary art. the massive white interior of the pinakothek der moderne creates an ideal canvas for 20th- and 21st-century artworks collected from around the world. the galleries extend over 3 floors and 13,000 square meters and include such masters as pablo picasso... and salvador dali. critics have praised the bright, light-filled museum for its original exhibits reveling in the art of modern design. for a completely different but utterly essential munchen experience, h
