The museum in Dresden. Tour of the Palace-Residence Museum “New Green Vault”

The Wettin family, who ruled Saxony for 829 years, had an unbridled passion for collecting. Carefully and seriously collecting weapons, coins, objects of applied art, trees and plants, costumes and paintings - everything beautiful, expensive, status, she created great, richest museums of world importance. But 100 years ago, after the victory of the bourgeois-democratic revolution, the royal throne collapsed, and with it came nationalization. The museums now have state status and belong to the federal state of Saxony.

Modern exhibition rooms are also worthy of attention. Lights, windows, walls are laconic, neutral and imperceptible, accents are placed only on exhibits, of which there are more than a thousand.

The price of the tour does not include entrance tickets, only the guide fee is included. The museum is closed on Tuesdays.

In an hour and a half, I will take you through the halls of the New Green Vault Museum. I promise to acquaint you with the museum concept, built on the chronological principle, to show the most famous and valuable works of the 16-18 centuries, to tell about rich customers who had a delicate taste, and about talented masters - creators of unique masterpieces.

As a bonus, I will give information about other museums of the Dresden Palace-Residence.
