Culture is everything that people developed over time.
Culture also determines how people live together.

The Kunst-Areal Munich is a very important place for
cultural history.
Kunst-Areal is pronounced like this:
Coonst-a-reh-aal
It means: many art institutions are
very close together in one area of the city.

In the Kunst-Areal you can see artworks from
very early civilisations to the culture of today.
You can see the cultural history of the world over
the last 5,000 years:
from ancient Egypt and Greece to the art of today.

The Kunst-Areal Munich is in the centre of Munich:
between Königs-Platz and Theresien-Straße.
Over the last 200 years, it became bigger and bigger.
Today, the Kunst-Areal Munich consists of:
• 18 museums and exhibition centres
• more than 20 galleries
• 2 churches
• 6 universities
• many cultural institutions

The largest museum in the Kunst-Areal is
the Pinakothek der Moderne.
A Pinakothek was originally a museum for paintings only.

But there are also other works of art in
the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich.
Die Neue Sammlung – The Design Museum is also here.

The Kunst-Areal is in Maxvorstadt.
This part of the city has modern cafés,
restaurants and beautiful green spaces.
The old gardens here are listed as protected monuments.

A visit to the Kunst-Areal is an experience.
Come to Die Neue Sammlung in the Pinakothek der Moderne and
see for yourself!
We look forward to seeing you!
