Latest Events in Munich(October Updated)

After four decades of museum and exhibition operations, the Neue Pinakothek is undergoing fundamental refurbishment. The museum is therefore closed for several years. During this time, selected major works of 19th century painting and sculpture are exhibited in the Alte Pinakothek and in the Sammlung Schack. The selection ranges from classicism and Romanticism to the beginning of modernism. Under the title ‘From Turner to van Gogh', the 19th century is now being relaunched in a different form. The works of the Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich, the French Impressionists and the pioneers of modernism from Édouard Manet and Claude Monet to Paul Cézanne and Vincent van Gogh will continue to be on display. Newly exhibited are groups of works by the important Realists Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller and Adolph Menzel, which could not be shown in previous years. One cabinet brings together intimate interior depictions from the Symbolist and fin de siècle eras.

From fall 2025, “Long Story Short” will tell a story of contemporary art from the 1960s to the present from the holdings of the Brandhorst Collection.Each room will be an exhibition in its own right: from Arte Povera to monographic presentations, from formal-aesthetic discourses to socio-political themes. Works that have never been shown before and new acquisitions will enter into a dialog with the museum's icons and open up new perspectives on the collection, which now comprises over 1600 works.
