The Zwinger consist from 12 museums - Alte Meister Galerie, Armoury, Museum of Sculpture, Museum of porcelaine, Mathematic-Physic exhibition, Museum of Minerals and many others. Alte Meister - is #1 museum in Dreiden or even in Germany. But don't miss Armoury too! It's great! The collection is so big! Even if you're not weaponry and armament fan you'll be impressed... More

The museum is very well laid out and lighted. The collection is mostly local, but very interesting. I could have used more information of the plastic arts in the DDR.

It is amassing place! You have to visit it you will get a great pleasure. Great Arts but you can also visit other gallery as astronomy, glass, physic. It is in the city centre. You may need 4-5 hours to spent.

It is a consortium of 12 different museums which collectively form the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden. It encompasses many different buildings in several parts of the city. If you visit Dresden, chances are you're visiting most... More

The Sistine Madonna by Rafael is the start of the show and with god reason! It is well worth seeing. The rest of the collection is devoted to 17th and 18th century European painting.

See the treasures of Saxony here at the SKD - so many collections to choose from! Get a multi day pass and come and go as you wish.
