Terra Mineralia

We invite you to see over 3.500 minerals, gemstones and meteorites from five continents presented in the historical setting of the Freudenstein Castle. At terra mineralia, a permanent exhibition of the TU Bergakademie Freiberg, the treasures of famous deposits in Asia, America, Africa, Australia and Europe are displayed on three floors. No matter how old you are or whether you are a scientist, a mineral collector or a tourist - the terra mineralia will amaze everyone. In KRÜGERHAUS, the TU Bergakademie Freiberg, presents a permanent exhibition of minerals from German sources that crowns the terra mineralia exhibition in Freudenstein Castle. Next to the castle you can also visit the Mineralogical Collection Germany at the KRÜGERHAUS. Beautiful and fascinating treasures from Germany await visitors from near and far: Curls of silver from Freiberg, gems from the Vogtland region, petal-like pieces of barite from the Sauerland region, green pyromorphite from Bad Ems, raspberry coloured rhodochrosite from the Siegerland region, beautiful pyrolusite from the Black Forest, honey-golden fluorite from the Oberpfalz, big halite cubes from Thuringia and filigree gypsum crystals from Saxony-Anhalt.

Even though we had not reserved in advance (recommended because of coronavirus restrictions), we were able to enter the museum immediately (we were there at 12:30 PM on a Wednesday). The museum contains an incredible number of absolutely wonderful stones! There is a full floor for every continent and a final floor with the huge ones. Even though we are completely ignorant about mineralogy, we are able to fully appreciate the visit and were astonished by the beauty of what we were seeing! We bought a nice rock at the shop in the end for a very reasonable price.

Deutsches Hygiene-Museum

The Museum of Man. Just a stone's throw from Dresden's Frauenkirche, the Deutsches Hygiene-Museum invites visitors to experience people and their bodies. For over 100 years, the unique hands-on museum has been offering a look "under the skin". In addition, there are annually changing exhibitions on current topics from science, culture and society. The museum impresses both - from inside and from outside: Nowhere else in Dresden, the world-famous Bauhaus architecture can be experienced better.

Reviewed By Nikysya2000 - Kyiv (Kiev), Ukraine

Quite interesting both for kids and adults. We could carry out different experiments - it was funny and useful. Spent there several hours - weren't bored at all. Recommend to visit, ecpecially for families with children 8-14. The only problem people might have - the descriptions were in German, so if you aren't good enough in German, you may feel a bit confused.

Dresden Museum of Technology and Industry

The museum resides in an outstanding building that was once the core of Dresden’s photographic industry. The exhibition focuses on the history of audiovisual technology and micro electronics. In the Mathematics Adventure Land both children and grown-ups explore fascinating phenomena of science. The 48-metre-hightower invites to a wonderful view over the city.
