Alte Pinakothek

Today was a cold damp day thus an ideal day to visit an Art Gallery. Sunday is 1 Euro day and we definitely got our moneys worth.  The building alone did that. The rooms were large and well designed with a customised hall to display Rubens 6 metre high "Last Judgement". This room and many others had plenty of Rubens as well as van Dycks, Rembrandt, Rafael, Botticelli, Canaletto, Durer and many more.
Here are some pictures of the interior and of some of the paintings.

After a couple of hours we found somewhere for lunch before driving home along the canals from Schloss Nymphenburg where we stopped to look inside church that despite its facade has a modern and simple interior.
