The Glyptothek is Munich’s oldest museum. It was commissioned by King Ludwig I of Bavaria in 1830 to house his collection of classical Greek and Roman sculpture. Not far away, art lovers can pay a visit to a newcomer, the Brandhorst Museum. It opened in 2009 and houses modern and contemporary artworks. Then there’s also the Lenbachhaus, renowned for its "Blaue Reiter” collection. Now with a spectacular new annex building, the museum is set to reopen in May.
