That is one of the art museums here in Munich; part of the trio along with the Alte Pinakothek and the Pinakothek der Moderne. I ventured there last Sunday (museum entry only costs 1 Euro on Sundays) and became infatuated. I just wanted to share a few of my favorite paintings, and will post more as I keep going back! May this also inspire people to go to art musuems and experience similar culturally-related things instead of watching a television program. It is much more intellectually stimulating.
The first painting I really liked was Im Moor (On the Moor) by Fritz Overbeck.
The next was Die Sünde (The Sin) by Franz von Stuck. Very eerie but so engrossing.
Next was The Bathing Place by William Stott.
And The Hard Path by Fritz von Uhde.
Then I found my most favorite one, but I didn't have a piece of paper with me or a pen, so I couldn't write down the very complicated name. I thought that it had the words "Hyppolite" and "Morgenstern" in it, and I think it was by Arnold Böcklin. But I've Googled every combination I can think of and can't find the painting I saw. I will just have to go back and take my own picture of it.
But here is another one of my favorites from Böcklin, titled the Villa By the Sea.
As you can probably tell, I like pretty paintings. And ones that tell a story. But man, do I love this art museum.
Come to Munich just to go to it.
