Pinakothek der Moderne

Stunning, bright, and beautiful is the design of this building. Great collection of modern art. Well curated are their permanent collection and special exhibits.

Mesmerized I was of Joseph Beuys, "The End of the 20th Century"; Paul Klee, "The Light and More Besides"; and, Gerhard Richter, "Abstract Painting" on this visit!

CHEERS!

Am I a sucker for modern museums?
Why, yes. Yes, I am.
The museum is absolutely beautiful on the outside - glass. It must look completely gorgeous on sunny days. It was raining when I visited.
It feels spacious.
They have a great collection here, and I absolutely loved the postcards they had around the museum. I took a few of artworks I really enjoyed.

Excellent Museum to go to in warm weather, because it has great air conditioning ( Many other museums I have visited lately have not had good air conditioning). Even though this is a museum of Modern Art my favorite exhibits were the vintage cars and household items. There is a lot to see here! We spent about 3 hours on our visit. Lockers are available ( require 2 Euro coins that you get back). The restrooms are very nice. Photography is allowed. There is a small cafe with coffee and pastry items. Highly recommend a visit on a Sunday for 1 Euro admission ( be sure and buy online tickets ahead- they were already sold out for the day when we arrives at noon)

Such a pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon. It is only 1€ on Sunday's which was a very good deal. I am a frequent museum goer in NY & DC so I have a pretty good background on art and I appreciate a good museum. I would say this museum was most comparable to the MoMa in NYC. I liked the different levels to the museum even with some exhibits being on multiple levels it gave a very interconnected feel. When I visited there was a exhibit on different lights that I found very fascinating and visually appealing. For the most part they had exhibit summaries on the wall in both English and German but I would say overall the museum is primarily in German. I should have checked to see if they had guided English audio tours which may have helped enhance my understanding of some of the exhibits.

On Sunday's all Pinakothek museums to include Museum Brandhorst & Sammlung Schack are €1,00 each.

Normally you can pay €12,00 for a day pass for all three Pinakothek museums to include Museum Brandhorst & Sammlung Schack.

This is a very large museum and if you wait until Sunday, the cost of admission is only €1,00 when it's normally €10,00.
There is much to see and with some works you may be intrigued and others you may not. There is quite the variety of works of art that are all displayed impressively. There is also a cafe and lockers. You need a €2,00 coin for the lockers to stow away your belongings.

Pinakothek der Moderne is a very neat museum and certainly worth visiting. It's quite large so make sure you have enough time to really enjoy it.

Was a rainy and crappy weather day here in Germany and we were searching for something to do, my friend recommended museums and suggested this one since it's only 1 euro on Sundays, I'll tell you for your 1 euro you surely get your money's worth and much more, thus museum is huge and we definitely couldn't finish it and we saw a lot, this is a cool museum with a lot of different kinds of art to see such as exhibits, paintings, designs and all kinds of other things, I think art buffs would appreciate this place for sure, im only a casual art fan and this place was really good for me, one thing to note is that a majority of the exhibits are explained in both German and English

I love coming here on Sundays at least once a year. One of the best art galleries in Munich.

I typically look for two things in art museums.

1. Cat art (meaning art with a cat in it, not art made by a cat... unless they painted a cat... or self portrait, I guess).
2. Nudes

This museum didn't have a ton of either of those things, unfortunately, but it was still a decent hang for a couple hours... at a rate of roughly €12.

If you're like me and are in to cat art, you can sleep soundly knowing that I took a photo of every piece of cat art in the museum (and then some, because that's allowed here) and added it to Yelp listing.

The museum itself is impressive in size and design. I particularly enjoyed the optical illusion of the lower level stairs. We started at the top floor and worked our way around and down, which is how I'd recommend doing it... though you'll need to visit the basement first if you have any coats or bags as you're prohibited from bringing them into the exhibit part of the museum.

There's no shortage of security in every room, so be prepared to feel monitored to a degree in which you may have never before been. Buncha hawk eyes up in here.

They had some notable works from Salvador Dali, Picasso, Klimt, aaand those were pretty much the only artists I knew here, but admittedly I'm not a big fancy art person. I did really like these plates they had on the wall with various forms of painful happenings on them (see photos).

The special exhibits were pretty boring, I thought. A collection of old furniture and computers along with this cardboard room just didn't do it for me. And I found myself constantly going back and forth saying to myself, 'This is art. This is art? This is art. This is art?' So be prepared to maybe view some questionable pieces and perhaps do the ole, "seriously? I could do that."

Great museum!!!! Excellent collection of modern art with master pieces of Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet, Manet, Renoir, Max Ernst and a room filled with artwork by Max Beckmann, what more can you wish for????? Highly recommended!
