This exhibition has closed

It closed on 13 September 2026. The page stays because an exhibition history is evidence: where a work was shown, and when, is part of its provenance and this archive cites it.

On now at Alte Pinakothek: All Eyes On: The Land of Cockaigne by Pieter Bruegel the Elder and Its Acquisition History, Images of People: Portrait and Genre Photographs from the Dietmar Siegert Collection.

Visiting Alte Pinakothek

Paintings from the Alte Pinakothek's Early German, Early Netherlandish and Flemish holdings examining how narrative works in 16th and early 17th century painting, including a newly acquired Hans Baldung Grien.
