Dear visitors,
‘Open for All’, ‘Experience Originals Digitally’: Visitors around the world are invited to enjoy digital access to the Alte Pinakothek and its art treasures in the permanent exhibition via Google Arts & Culture. All galleries at the Alte Pinakothek have been digitized in 360° images. We’re also offering over 25 interactive and multimedia narrative-based feature stories to provide an exciting and informative look at a selection of masterworks held at the Alte Pinakothek – from Dürer, Rubens, Rembrandt, and Raphael through to Boucher and Murillo.

The highly acclaimed special exhibition Utrecht, Caravaggio and Europe can still be viewed via this link G.CO/PINACARAVAGGISTI
The Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen are stepping up their cooperation with Google Arts & Culture as part of the museum’s wider Digital Strategy. True to our guiding principle ‘Open for All’, having the Alte Pinakothek featured on Google Arts & Culture allows us to achieve our aim of expanding and facilitating access to our exhibition spaces through digital media. By undertaking this step, we also open up the museum – at least on a virtual level – to people interested in our artworks but who for a range of reasons are currently unable to visit the Alte Pinakothek in person.
In the #Kunstminute (art minute) we invite you to rediscover 23 selected masterpieces from our collections. For the first time we will introduce you to the people behind the paintings as well as the artworks. In the #Kunstminute, our curators give you very personal insights into their world, their everyday work and convey their enthusiasm for art.

With its Online Collection, the Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen (Bavarian State Painting Collections) is making its entire holdings accessible to the public: that’s 25,000 artworks in Bavaria, Germany and Europe viewable on a single platform! It is possible to have an overview not only of all the artworks on display in the Munich galleries – the Alte and Neue Pinakothek, the Sammlung Moderne Kunst in the Pinakothek der Moderne, the Museum Brandhorst and the Sammlung Schack – and in the other state galleries of Bavaria (several thousand works in total), but also of works in the museum storerooms (17,000 works) and more than 4000 works on permanent loan from the Munich collections to over 400 sites, some belonging to institutions which are only partly open to the public.
Every artwork is documented with a photograph, basic information (catalogue/accession number, artist, title, support, size, provenance), and details of its location. The relevant specialist area is also given, to assist with classification.
Digital media are constantly changing the way we communicate, access knowledge and learn. Explore the digital strategy of the Pinakotheken and learn more about our motivation, vision, and objectives.
Masterpieces from the Neue Pinakothek at the Alte Pinakothek and the Sammlung Schack: The temporary relocation of the masterpieces from the Neue Pinakothek to the Alte Pinakothek ("From Goya to Manet") and the Sammlung Schack ("A Meeting of Minds") offers a unique opportunity to experience the most famous paintings in new exciting dialogues.
CLOSURE OF THE EXHIBITION "FROM GOYA TO MANET" FROM 19 OCTOBER UNTIL PROBABLY FEBRUARY 2022.
Due to construction works on the ground floor of the Alte Pinakothek, the presentation of 19th century art FROM GOYA TO MANET will no longer be accessible to the public from 19 October this year. The closure is expected to last until January. We thank you for your understanding.
