a dreary collection with the odd recognisable painter and many local German copyists..The architecture - windows and views were more interesting but of course the strict German officials didn't allow you to take photos of the windows.. better to go to the Art quarter in Neustadt and browse the excellent selection of galleries there.

The Albertinum staff made us feel more than welcome. Our priority was its collection of Impressionists and others from 1870 to 1940. We were more than pleased. The collection of French works is not large but the quality and interest is quite high. The German works and the Expressionists show themes and methods we don't often see in North America.... More

During our recent stop in Dresden, we spent a couple hours in the Albertinium Museum. Given the amazingly high quality of the museums we had been visiting in Germany, we were frankly a little disappointed. The sculpture areas in my opinion are not that attractively displayed. In the one room where the sculpture is integrated with the other forms of... More

There are 3 floors of collections in this museum. On the groundfloor, there are sculptures, from which I most enjoyed the Rodin's ones. On the first and second floors you can find many modern artists of famous name (Rodin, Picasso, Degas) as well as a remarkable collection of German Impressionists. The entrance fee is eight euros. I liked this museum... More

The Albertinum has been completely renovated following the Elbe floods in 2002, and the space available has been radically increased. This may be good in some ways, although I found the separate area for sculptures rather disappointing, as previously sculpture and paintings from the same period were displayed together, which I found more telling. The collection of paintings by the... More

Great collection of German romantic pictures with fabulous Caspar Friedrichs. The building has been completely remodeled and the mix of 19th century and contemporary art is surprising and interesting.

This museum has three different sculpture collections which are very good. There are also some very good 19th and 20th century paintings. My favorite painting was the Portrait of the Dancer Marietta di Ricardo, done in 1904 by Max Slevogt. What I did not like is their photo policy that does not allow any photography at all. Without photographs you... More

If you like modern art (1900-now), impressionism and/or romanticism don't skip this museum! Most practical entrance is at the ground floor, not at the Bruehl Terrace (too high)
