The Neue Pinakothek (New Pinakothek) is an Art Museum in Munich , Germany . Its focus is European Art of the 18th and 19th Century . Together with the Alte Pinakothek and the Pinakothek Der Moderne it is part of Munich's " Kunstareal " (the "art area"). HISTORY The museum was founded by King Ludwig I of Bavaria in 1853 . The king's collection of contemporary art had been steadily enlarged. The so-called "Tschudi Contribution" in 1905 / 1914 led to an extraordinary collection of masterpieces of Impressionism . Hugo von Tschudi, general director of the State Collections acquired 44 paintings, nine sculptures and 22 drawings, mostly from new French artists. But since public funds could not be used to purchase these works, Tschudi’s associates came up with the money from private contributions after his death in 1911. In 1915 the Neue Pinakothek became the property of the Bavarian state. The original building was destroyed during World War II . Designed by architect Alexander Freiherr Von Branca the new building opened in 1981 . COLLECTION The museum houses an expanded collection of more than 3.000 European paintings from Classicism to Art Nouveau . About 400 paintings and 50 sculptures of these are exhibited. „Plucked Turkey“ (1810)]]
