The collection of the Neue Pinakothek is dedicated to the art of the 19th century. Works by Romantic painters such as Caspar David Friedrich and Carl Blechen as well as Impressionist paintings by Max Liebermann, Auguste Renoir and Claude Monet are on display. Art from the 20th and 21st centuries can be found in the Pinakothek der Moderne. Works from classical modernism to the present are exhibited.
