  Neue Pinakothek [Sammlung - Rundgang]
Klenze was, as was his contemporary and rival Karl Friedrich Schinkel, not only active as an architect - he was commissioned by Ludwig I with several building projects in Munich and Bavaria - but also stood out as a painter and draughtsman.
Klenze studied ancient architecture and its subsequent development during his travels throughout Italy, Sicily and Greece.
In addition Klenze collected works of important German painters of his time, which he sold in 1841 to King Ludwig I. These paintings eventually formed the basis for the collection in the Neue Pinakothek, which was opened in 1853.

 Sculpture Gallery, Munich, Munich; Munchen
The Glyptothek (from the Greek "glyptik" meaning sculpture, or the art of cutting stone), the oldest museum in Munich, was built between 1816 and 1830 by Leo von Klenze (1784-1864).
Leo von Klenze was commissioned by Ludwig to build a new gallery to accommodate the figures.
The result, using plans prepared by Karl von Fischer (1782-1820), was the Glyptothek, one the finest and most celebrated Neo-Classical buildings in Germany.

The general plan for Ludwigstrasse was created by architect Leo von Klenze (1784–1864), who designed and completed the first group of buildings on this avenue.
Klenze’s creation served as a model for many other buildings on Ludwigstrasse and was itself based on the Palazzo Farnese in Rome.
The library was designed by his archrival, Gärtner, in 1827 and Klenze, who was on the city’s architectural council, managed to delay commencement of the project for five years.

 Hermitage History - The Hermitage - TicketsOfRUSSIA.ru
The idea of Leo von Klenze was to reproduce in the paintings of the gallery the history of the development of painting in Greece and Rome from archaic coloring of idols to the decay of art and culture of Antiquity in the epoch of the great migration of peoples.
The most spacious and most beautifully decorated rooms of the first floor are three rooms with sky-light windows arranged one by one, designed by Leo von Klenze.These rooms with glass windows on top and vast huge walls were meant to display the largest pictures of the collection.
Though the windows were not particularly big and the light on a winter day in the northern country was not enough still the idea to give diffused light for the pictures through them was a great innovation one hundred years ago that proved that the requirements for the modern museum were quite definite.

The painting is particularly rich in details: the leaves of the trees shimmer, the buildings' edges are precisely delineated, and the plain clothing worn by peasants in the foreground is carefully described.
Leo von Klenze, who is primarily known as the chief architect and head of public works in Munich, was also an accomplished painter.
Combining his talent for keen observation with an ability to improve upon nature, Klenze amended this vista of the Italian town by altering the castle's architecture, inserting a Roman aqueduct, and changing the location of the olive trees.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 96.7.15
The cover of this book reproduces a painting by Leo von Klenze, better known as a classicizing architect than as an artist.
Habicht's history is firmly political, a narrative of persons and powers interacting so as to produce events: the women and children of von Klenze's picture are absent, though the stray woman turns up as a wife, widow, or hetaira.
The book concludes with the glossary already mentioned, with stemmata of the principal Hellenistic dynasties, and with indexes of geographical and personal names; but there is no subject-index, which might usefully have drawn together such themes as the Areopagus, the ephebate, or trade.

Professor von Klenze (A.B. Harvard, Ph.D. Marburg) may rightly be considered the "father" of the Junior Year in Munich as it existed in the pre-war years, and a great deal of continuity with JYM's original design still remains embedded in JYM today.
After his retirement from the College of the City of New York, Professor von Klenze was appointed Honorary Professor of American Culture at the University of Munich where, together with his wife Henrietta (Ph.D. Chicago), they successfully guided the newly established Junior Year in Munich during its first "experimental year" of 1931-32.
It is certainly worth recalling that "success" was a word probably not heard all that often in 1931, just two years after the stock market crash of October 1929.
