Highlights of Dresden's museums What makes Dresden world-famous as a city of art and culture is its varied and unequalled museum landscape. Whether you’re more interested in history or in art – Dresden has something to suit every taste. The Old Masters Picture Gallery presents an extraordinary collection of first-rate paintings, the most famous of which is certainly Raphael’s Sistine Madonna. In the Royal Palace, the armoury invites to the new permanent exhibition Concept and Encounter: The World around 1600 and shows works originating from the late Renaissance. At the Museum of Technology and Industry, displays on such

topics as photography, sound recording and fire usher technically interested visitors into new realms. And the Bundeswehr Museum of Military History is not only a major historical museum in Germany and one of the most innovative military museums in the world – it also offers a glorious view of the city. The summer season enhances this array with the historical gardens of Pillnitz in full blossom, luring visitors on an excursion to the banks of the Elbe. And all year round, this booklet will guide you on a journey of discovery through Dresden’s worldrenowned museums.

Albertinum

New Masters Gallery and Sculpture Collection from 1800

Jürgen Karpinski

With a range extending from Romanticism to the present, the Albertinum is a place where painting meets sculpture, East meets West and today meets tomorrow. The Thinker by Auguste Rodin, the trailblazer for numerous artistic styles that crystallized in the twentieth century, is the first work visitors see when entering the ground-level sculpture hall. Presented on simple black plinths and largely freestanding, the exhibited works show us the most diverse conceptions of threedimensional art in their time. In the remaining presentation at the Albertinum, painting and sculpture enter a dialogue again and again. This holds for the special exhibitions as well, which focus predominantly on contemporary art, for example the recent showcasing of performance artist Tino Sehgal, films by Rosa Barba and new work by Gerhard Richter. This Dresden-born painter has been given two permanent spaces here. At the other end of the presentation, world-famous masterworks by Caspar David Friedrich, the most significant German Romantic artist, are on show.

Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister

Old Masters Picture Gallery with Sculpture Collection to 1800

Hans Christian Krass

In this museum, a rich presentation of superb paintings from the Late Middle Ages to the Enlightenment spreads out over three floors, with special focusses on various themes, genres, artistic currents, techniques, etc. Again and again, works by Italian, Spanish, Dutch, German, French, English and Swiss artists are found side by side, making for a comprehensive experience of European painting. The presentation of the Sculpture Collection testifies to the importance of ancient sculpture for the art of the Renaissance and the Baroque in painting and sculpture alike. And through the close proximity to the exhibition rooms of the Old Masters Picture Gallery, it moreover provides a striking demonstration of the degree to which sculpture and painting have inspired one another over the centuries.
