The Alte Pinakothek (Old Pinacotheca) is a museum of art situated in the Kunstareal area in Munich. One of the oldest galleries in the world, the Alte Pinakothek features a world-renowned collection of Old Master paintings spanning from the 14th to the 18th centuries, including works by Albrecht Dürer, Rembrandt van Rijn, and Vincent van Gogh.

Built in 1836, the Neo-Renaissance design of the Alte Pinakothek is different from that of the typical early 19th-century castle-like museums that were the norm and features the use of skylights and northern lights for the cabinets. The Alte (Old) Pinakothek is so named for this collection, which features “older” works, while the Neue Pinakothek features works from the 19th century. The Pinakothek der Moderne displays modern art.
