The Neue Pinakothek in Munich's Kunstareal was designed by Alexander von Branca for the building that opened in 1981. The article names no client. The text says the museum was completed in 1859, while the infobox says it opened in 1981 and gives 1853 as established. The article calls the 1981 redevelopment Postmodernism and describes concrete construction with a stone facade.

Ludwig I began collecting contemporary art in 1809. The Tschudi Contribution brought Impressionist works between 1905 and 1914, and Bavaria took ownership in 1915. The Nazi regime confiscated a van Gogh self-portrait in 1938. The article gives no dimensions.

The museum closed for renovation in January 2019, and reopening is delayed until 2029. When open, it exhibits about 400 paintings and 50 sculptures. The article gives no hours or ticket details.
