The majority of the museums are situated in the Kunstareal, the art area, like the Alte Pinakothek, one of the most ancient and beautiful art galleries of the world, which name (old art gallery) refers to the historical period covered. The Neue Pinakothek, instead, covers the art period of the 19th century, and the recently inaugurated Pinakothek der Moderne hosts modern and contemporary art. It is also possible to visit one of the most important Greek and Roman art collections at the Glyptothek and the Staatliche Antikensammlungen.
