The Alte Pinakothek is one of the oldest and most important galleries in the world.

More than 800 masterpieces by European artists bring to life the development of art from the Middle Ages to the end of the Rococo period.

Venetian art is represented by its master painter Titian, as is Dutch baroque art by Frans Hals. Rubens occupies (with one of the largest collections of his works in the world) the center of the museum.
