Explore the Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich's sprawling modern art and design museum. Pass from paintings by Picasso and Magritte to automotive and interior design in a spacious, light-filled building.
Full description
The Pinakothek der Moderne is one of Munich's largest museums, combining art, architecture, design and graphic collections from the 19th and 20th centuries under one roof. Visitors mention works by Picasso and Magritte alongside automotive and interior design, in an open, airy building that is pleasant to move through.
Reviewers find it comfortable both indoors and out, and some return for the architecture alone. Ninety minutes covers the highlights, though the scale rewards longer stays.

Reviews
Large place, lots to see. Modern art is exhibited thematically - not my preference but it is OK and generally makes sense. The building is beautiful. Staff is very friendly. Atmosphere is pleasant. The agriculture exhibitions is detailed and informative.
