War ganz nett. So ne Art „Schnitzeljagd“ im Museum gemacht. Naja. Die Stadttour mitsamt Audioguide ist langweilig. Das Café im 1. Stock ist gut. Für Kinder aus Dresden wäre es für mich trotzdem fast schon Pflichtprogramm. Ansonsten vielleicht zu empfehlen, wenn man entweder Fan von E.K. oder Literaturstudent ist, oder einfach noch ein bisschen Zeit als Tourist in der Stadt übrig und den Rest schon gesehen hat. Trotzdem viel Erfolg weiterhin!

Ein feiner Ort am Knotenpunkt der Dresdner Neustart.

Bin mir nicht sicher, wie ich dieses Museum einstufen soll. Wahrscheinlich fehlt mir der geschichtliche Background 😴
