Kunstareal

It consists of the three "Pinakotheken" galleries , the Glyptothek, the Staatliche Antikensammlungen , the Lenbachhaus, the Museum Brandhorst and several galleries. Also the Staatliche Sammlung für Ägyptische Kunst was moved to the Kunstareal in 2013. The history of the museums in this area of Munich began in 1816 with the erection of the Glyptothek at Königsplatz and was completed with the new building for the Egyptian Museum and the extension of the Lenbachhaus .

Close to the Pinakothek der Moderne the neo-classical Palais Dürckheim served at times as a building dedicated to bringing art closer to the visitors, while the adjoining Türkentor , the gate of a demolished royal caserne, is set to become a display window for temporary contemporary art. As of 2009 a general project plan is under discussion to ensure the integration of the different museum buildings and to improve the access to the art district from the inner city.
