Culture calls from Dresden – After seven years of part-closure and extensive renovation work, Dresden’s Old Masters Picture Gallery will officially reopen to visitors on February 29 – including a special late-night opening on February 28 and free admission until 1 March.
Located in the Semper building gallery wing of Dresden’s Zwinger Palace, the Old Masters Picture Gallery offers visitors a unique experience of European art history, as the collection, going back to the Saxon electors, includes key works for each era.
World famous masterpieces, such as Raphael’s Sistine Madonna, Rembrandt’s Ganymede (left) and the views of Dresden by Bernardo Bellotto, will function as focal points, emphasising the unique status and significance of these painters and their works for European art history.
The museum will also, for the first time, integrate the Dresden State Art Collection’s Sculpture Collection, showcasing exquisite sculptures from antiquity to 1800.
