Pinakothek der Moderne is one of the city's esteemed institutions displaying art in various forms. The gallery presents itself as a platform for a dialogue between art connoisseurs and artists. Most of their exhibits belong to the 20th Century and they also have a few 21st-century collections. At their displays and exhibitions, explore the transition, as well as, trends in art. They also house over 100,000 displays incorporating graphic design, their most recent take on contemporary art. Monet's "Water Lillies", Franz Marc's "Tyrol" and Picasso's "Femme au Violon" are some of the gems that call Pinakothek der Moderne their home.

With over 40,000 exhibits in store, The Design Museum, which began as a collection of exemplary examples of aesthetic design, is truly magnificent. Industrial design, graphics, furniture, textiles, posters, and everyday items are all featured here at the museum, which is located within the Pinakothek der Moderne. Due to the lack of space, there are only temporary exhibitions at the moment. Please check the website for further information.
