Today I went to the Alte Pinakothek, which is an art museum situated in the art area in Munich. It is one of the oldest galleries in the world and houses one of the most famous collections of Old Master paintings. The museum galleries were designed to display Rubens's "Last Judgment" , one of the largest canvasses ever painted, (size 608,5 x 463,5cm). It is amazeballs.
 |
| The name, Pinakothek, alludes to the time period covered by the art — the Neue Pinakothek covers 19th century art and the recently opened Pinakothek der Moderne exhibits modern art, all galleries are part of Munich's "Kunstareal" (the "art area"). |
 |
| The Last Judgement, 1617. Peter Paul Rubens. |
and here are some other masterpieces I saw today...
 |
| Peter Paul Rubens, Albrecht Dürer & Leonardo Da Vinci |
Next week I am doing the Neue Pinakothek and the Pinakothek der Moderne. Its really exciting and fun.
