The Old Munich Pinakothek is one of the ten best museums in the world, largely thanks to the efforts of the Bavarian rulers of past centuries. Not being art historians, they showed an extraordinary taste for painting, and works of art from all over Europe flocked to the electors and kings of Bavaria. Here you can see German, Dutch, Flemish, Italian, French, Spanish painting - works by masters of the Middle Ages until the mid-18th century.
