The Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich was designed by Stephan Braunfels. The article names no client but says private financing helped overcome objections to the design and cost. The text says construction took seven years in one place and a decade in another. The infobox gives September 2002 as established, which matches the inauguration.
The article describes a rectilinear modernist design with a large canopied roof and a central domed rotunda that connects four corner wings. It uses white and gray concrete, large windows and tall columns. It covers about 237,000 square feet (22,000 square meters) and cost $120 million.
The Danner Foundation opened a jewelry exhibition area in the basement in 2004, and the Stoffel collection was added in 2006. It is a museum of modern and contemporary art, design and architecture. The article gives no hours.
