Things to do in Dresden, Saxony: The Best Specialty Museums

May 31, 2021 Janette Largent

On the banks of the lovely Elbe River, the German city of Dresden is lush and green, filled with forests and gardens and parks. The city is rich with cultural and artistic history; the great operatic composer Wilhelm Wagner debuted a number of works here in the 1800s and, today, an independent light opera company keeps the classical art form modern and fresh. Culture vultures will love the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister and Grünes Gewölbe museums, and architecture buffs will salivate over the mélange of styles reflected in the cityscape.

The Royal Porcelain Collection

Reviewed By elena076 - Moscow, Russia

Do not come here tired! The museum is amazing and like a delicious dish it is worth savouring mindfully and leisurely. It is not only the collection itself that is awe inspiring, but also the way it is presented. The famous architect, who was involved in the project, made a marvelous job of making the atmosphere in the museum warm, homely and intimate.
