It is one of the largest new museums in the world. Four collections come together in Stephan Braunfels's new building to create a "musee total" of Modernism, sweeping away the boundaries between the genres." "This book shows how the many connections with the history of the city, museums and architecture make the third Pinakothek a sum of the most important achievements in this building genre from Classicism to Modernism. The book provides a detailed documentation of the design and its sources of inspiration."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
