The Pinakothek der Moderne 4 museums under one roof

The Pinakothek der Moderne is one of the world's largest museums of fine art of the 20th and 21st centuries. Its dimensions are comparable to those of the Centre Pompidou in Paris or the Tate Modern in London. Opened in September 2002 and designed by Stephan Braunfels, the building features open and generous architecture that creates linkages and provides visitors with constantly changing and surprising insights

Working in conjunction with each other under one roof in the Pinakothek der Moderne are four independent institutions: the Modern Art Collection (Sammlung Moderne Kunst) of the Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen, the Neue Sammlung - The International Design Museum Munich, the Architecture Museum of the Technical University Munich (Architekturmuseum der Technischen Universität München) and the Staatliche Graphische Sammlung (State Graphics Collection)

The supra-disciplinary focus of the Pinakothek der Moderne preserves the identity of the individual collections while at the same presenting their interrelated parts in a wider cultural context
In the basement are the showrooms of the Architecture Museum of the TU Munich and the Graphische Sammlung. Neither have permanent exhibitions
Instead, they change displays of works held by them every three months or so
The rooms »Temporär 1 + 2« on the ground floor are used by all four institutions for changing exhibitions
