2025 Museums

The Zwinger is a world-famous architectural ensemble located in Dresden. The complex was built in the early 1700s and has been the main attraction of Saxony ever since. The building's facade is adorned with sculptural compositions.

Galleries and pavilions, situated on the side of the defensive fortifications, functioned as orangeries centuries ago, and the crown that tops the Zwinger is a popular object for photographers and, at the same time, a symbol of Dresden. Some of the palace rooms now operate as museums, showcasing a diverse exhibition.

While here, be sure to visit the Dresden Art Gallery, where you can trace how the Baroque succeeded the Renaissance through the paintings. A huge park, covering more than 140 hectares, is laid out on the territory adjacent to the complex.

Цвингер – очаровательный дворцово-парковый комплекс, в который входят музей фарфора, знаменитая Дрезденская галерея, а также математический музей. Советую, когда пойдете в галерею, обязательно возьмите аудио-экскурсию. Так вы сможете не только полюбоваться великолепными полотнами, но и узнать немало интересного об их создании.

Prachtig bouwwerk in het oude centrum van Dresden dat op dit moment wordt gerestaureerd.

Każdy zabytek w Dreźnie wart jest obejrzenia. My mieliśmy niebywałego pecha bo z powodu 250 kg bomby z II wojny całe zabytkowe środmieście było długo zablokowane. Ale to co udało się zobaczyć w cztery godziny zostanie w pamięci na długo. Zdjęcia to jedno ale klimat którego aparatem nie zarejestrujesz jest tam niesamowity.
