Description |
|
The Pinakothek
der Moderne is composed of four galleries
connected by a central rotunda. The
galleries are dedicated to Art,
Architecture, Design and Works on
Paper. The Pinakothek's website says
that, "..the building
itself has made a decisive contribution to
turning this multidisciplinary concept
into a reality. With its impressive
25-metre-high glass dome, the rotunda
marks the starting point for all tours of
the building. Here, visitors can stroll
around as if on an Italian piazza and give
free rein to their thoughts as they move
from one exhibition area to the next..." Critics of the building have described it as, "the cardboard box". |
