Day 4: München - Neue Pinakothek, Königsplatz, Karlsplatz

We spent time in the museum quarter today, and our destination was Neue Pinakothek, which has an excellent collection of 18th and 19th century classics.

We gave Jocelyn the digital camera, and she snapped quite a number of her favorites. What impressed me most was the audio guide. The amount of details were just about right for a typical museum tour.

We emerged from the museum in mid-afternoon, and walked around the Königsplatz area. This was the area where the Nazi held mass rallies. To aid visitors in learning more about the historical significance of this area, maps were erected to identify buildings that were once used by the regime.


But the storm clouds were rolling in, and we found refuge at a Viennese cafe after taking a short subway ride to the old town center. By the time the sky turned blue again, we had traversed to Karlsplatz and admired the splendor of Michaelskirche (St. Michael). Here is a picture of the kids in front of the fountain at Karlsplatz.
