Neue Pinakothek — Attraction in Munich

EXTREMELY IMPOLITE AND RUDE! POOR QUALITY OF STAFF! I have visited many museums in Europe. They all gave me valuable and wonderful experience. This museum is the worst one I have ever met. The museum closed at 6:00p.m.. I and my husband left the exhibition hall at 5:55p.m.. We strictly followed the announcement of the museum with our greatest courtesy. My husband needed to go to toilet. I went to the locker place first to wait for my husband. One of the staff then came to me and said, ”Good morning.”, and mocked me to make him get off his work late. The locker key was in my husband’s trouser bag. I wondered whether I should rush in the male toilet immediately to get the key off from my husband’s trouser while he was pissing. My husband came to the locker place a minute later. We needed to get back our packsacks and wear our clothing because the outside was very chilly at night. We were already hurrying up but the staff threatened us to CALL THE POLICE because he claimed that we were not willing to leave. I’ve never encountered such rude and impolite people in Europe before. TOTALLY WITHOUT RESPECT. I’d kindly suggest the dear curator of the museum to stick a big notice on their entry to remind all the visitors that NO VISITORS ARE ALLOWED BECAUSE THEIR DISTINGUISHED STAFF NEED TO LEAVE THEIR WORK AT EXACTLY 6 O’CLOCK. I will never visit this...

The Neue Pinokothek (€7 per adult) is a modern art museum in Munich where you view a quality collection of 19th century modern art. Opening hours are 10am to 6pm daily with extended hours on Wednesday evening until 8pm. The museum is closed on Tuesdays.

Entrance fee includes an audio guide which is allows you to learn more about individual artworks as you make your way through various galleries. Rooms are numbered chronologically and there is a natural path which takes visitors through the entire collection.

During our midweek visit, there were few other visitors, allowing a relaxed visit throughout. Here you find a good representation of notable international artists such as Goya, Manet, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Van Gogh, Gainsborough, Turner, Klimt, Schiele amongst many others. There is also a good representation of German artists including Heinrich Maria von Hess, Peter von Hess, Peter von Cornelius and Caspar David Friedrich.

Our visit lasted around 2.5 hours. We enjoyed the collection and would return for another visit during future visits to Munich.

Note that the Die Pinakotheken museums in Munich are only €1 to enter on Sundays so try visit 2-3 on the day if you are a museum lover and want to save a bit on...

NOT recommended.
