The 8 Best Art Museums in Innere Altstadt, Saxony
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 old master galleries in Dresden comprises the most wonderful and complete collection of paintings representing all European schools. The Flemish 16th ad 17th centuries are astonishing and amazing works by The Dutch Johannes Vermeer takes your breath away. The Gemäldegalerie will be rehanging the collection during the second half of 2019 so keep track of this when planning your visits.

The museum is easy to navigate and displays a nice collection of the Dresden museum New Masters. There is a nice small set of impressionist and expressionist paintings. A nice contrast to the Old Masters art gallery, which I would also visit.

4.5 based on 4,678 reviews
Situated in the heart of the Saxon state capital, the Dresden Zwinger ranks among Germany’s most well-known Baroque buildings of Germany and is, apart from the Church of Our Lady, certainly the most famous building monument in Dresden. It accommodates internationally renowned museums and is a place for staging music and theater performances.

I marvelled at the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the various instruments displayed in the mathematical gallery of the Zwinger. I thought I would just breeze through but the intricacies of the objects and the fact that there were English explanations really captured my interest even though I am not that interested in Mathematics. There are displays of clocks , surveying equipment, microscopes and telescopes and very old globes as well as many other inventions.Make sure you visit this gallery which is included on your Museum Pass that you can purchase at the Information centre in the middle of the old town. A two day pass is just 22 Euros.

German Stadt museums are usually historical gold mines and the Dresden Stadt Museum is no exception.It is housed in a country estate palace that was constructed between 1770 and 1775. It was rebuilt after its destruction in WWII. It contains four different epoch rooms depicting the City's history from the 12th to the 21st century.Upon entering you find yourself walking over a giant aerial photograph of the City. This is a great opportunity to familiarize yourself with the City's layout. There is also a scale model of Old Dresden which is impressive. One display portrays the working class tradesmen of Dresden, their manufactures and radical history including the rebellion of 1848. In addition to exhibits and art work the museum contains a cafe& garden, a nice gift shop and was tastefully decorated for Christmas. A Holiday model train layout presented the Old City in HO scale. and was a welcome addition and pleasant surprise for me and other train lovers. Admission is 4-5 Euros and the staff are quite friendly.
