The Pinakothek Museums in Bavaria

Poussin resides in the palace of Schleissheim, Hans Holbein in St Catherine's Church in Augsburg and Peter Paul Rubens in Neuburg an der Donau. The locations of the galleries alone -- ancient castles and magnificent palaces -- make attractive destinations for excursions. From medieval altarpieces to media installations, from Albrecht Dürer to Andy Warhol, from Ansbach to Würzburg: lavishly illustrated and in the words of the people who look after them, this volume tells of famous masterpieces, reveals hidden treasures and invites you to embark upon a journey through the past history and present day of the Pinakotheken in Bavaria.
