WHAT DOES PINACOTHECA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Pinacotheca

A pinacotheca 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 right by the Nike Athena temple. Though Pausanias speaks of the pictures "which time had not effaced," which seems to point to fresco painting, the fact that there is no trace of preparation for stucco on the walls shows 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, mostly in Italy, such as the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan, with others in Bologna, Siena, the Vatican and Turin, In Brazil, there is the Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo. In Munich the three main galleries are called the Alte Pinakothek, Neue Pinakothek and Pinakothek der Moderne. At Hallbergmoos, near Munich Airport, there's the Pinakothek Hallbergmoos.
