A pinacotheca (Latin borrowing from Ancient Greek: πινακοθήκη, romanized: pinakothēkē = πίναξ, pinax, '(painted) board, tablet' + θήκη, thēkē, 'box, chest') was a picture gallery in either ancient Greece or ancient Rome. The name is specifically used for the building containing pictures which formed the left wing of the Propylaea on the Acropolis at Athens, Greece. The Pinacotheca was located next to the temple of Athena Nike. Though Pausanias speaks of the pictures "which time had not effaced",[1] which seems to point to fresco painting, the fact that there is no trace of preparation for stucco on the walls implies that the paintings were easel pictures. The Romans adopted the term for the room in a private house containing pictures, statues, and other works of art.
In the modern world the word is often used as a name for a public art gallery concentrating on paintings, mostly in Italy (as "Pinacoteca"), such as the Pinacoteca Vaticana of the Vatican Museums (which is usually meant when the plain word is used), the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan (more often "the Brera" informally), the Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli built on the roof of the former Lingotto Fiat factory in Turin, Italy, with others in Bologna and Siena. In Brazil, there is the Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo. In Paris, the Pinacothèque de Paris. In Munich the three main galleries are called the Alte Pinakothek (old masters), Neue Pinakothek (19th century) and Pinakothek der Moderne. The Pinacotheca, Melbourne, was a gallery for avant-garde art from 1967 to 2002. At Hallbergmoos, near Munich Airport, there was the Pinakothek Hallbergmoos (20th and 21st century) between 2010 and 2014.

Pinacoteca (del latín pinacothēca, y este del griego πινακοθήκη) es una galería o museo de pinturas.[1] La pinacoteca, por lo tanto, es un espacio destinado a la exposición de obras artísticas de carácter pictórico.[2] Este nombre proviene de la denominación del ala norte de los propileos, puertas monumentales con columnas de la Acrópolis de Atenas donde se guardaban tablillas pintadas. En Grecia este término correspondía a un espacio situado en la entrada de un templo, donde estaban expuestas diversas representaciones de dioses.[it] Pinacoteca
La pinacoteca, dal greco πίναξ (pinax, "quadro") e θήκη (théke, "scrigno", "ripostiglio"), è il luogo in cui sono conservate, tutelate e offerte alla pubblica fruizione opere d'arte dipinte.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
