          "text": "   PINACOTHECA, a picture-gallery (Gr. lrLvaKoOI7K,7, from 7rLvaE, a tablet or\n    picture). The name is especially given to the building containing pictures\n     which formed the left wing of the Propylaea on the Acropolis at Athens.\n    Though Pausanias (Bk. II., xxii. 6) speaks of the pictures which time had\n   not effaced, which seems to point to fresco painting, the fact that there is\n    no trace of any preparation for stucco on the walls rather shows that the\n      paintings were easel pictures (J. G. Frazer, Pausaniass Description of\n      Greece, 1898, iI. 252). The Romans adopted the term for the room in a\n    private house containing pictures, statues, and other works of art. It is\n     used for a public gallery on the continent of Europe, as at Bologna and\n        Turin. At Munich there are two galleries known as the Old and New\n                                   Pinakothek.\n\nAMAZING online dictionary site: http://www.onelook.com -  the above coming\nfrom the 1911 Encyclopaedia Brittanica.  Thus defined, there could\nindeed be many 'pinakotheken' off a dingle great hallway."
