Alte Pinakothek
One of the world's most important collections of classical painting, holding works by Dürer, Rubens, Leonardo, Raphael and other European masters of the 14th to 18th centuries.
The Alte Pinakothek opened in 1836, developed from the Wittelsbach family's collection. Around 700 works are on display, spanning German, Dutch, Flemish, Italian and Spanish masters: Dürer's Self-Portrait in a Fur Coat, Altdorfer's Battle of Issus, Leonardo's Madonna of the Carnation, works by Raphael and Titian, and a remarkable number of large-scale paintings by Rubens. It is closed on Mondays, with extended hours on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Entry on Sundays costs just 1 euro, so it can be crowded. It is in the Museum Quarter, and you can take tram 27 to Pinakotheken stop.
