Alte Pinakothek
Goals of the Association

The Pinakotheks-Verein (Association) is a non profit organisation with headquarters in Munich. Currently, it has around 320 members and patrons. The association supports the Alte Pinakothek and the Neue Pinakothek in expanding their collections through the purchase of paintings and helps promote activities for visitors and those interested in the Pinakothek museums.

Originally, the association was founded to support the rebuilding of the Alte Pinakothek, which was destroyed during World War II. Once this goal was achieved, the articles of the association were changed to include patronage of the Alte and Neue Pinakothek and their collections.

The association’s programme regularly offers guided tours, events, lectures and small journeys for members and patrons. In addition, you will be invited to all the openings of new exhibitions as well as to private viewings.
