What does Europe's largest museum of gold art look like?

📍 Green Dome Museum of Treasures Dresden
Residenzschloss, Taschenberg 2, 01067 Dresden


If you come to Dresden travel really recommend here, a strength more than the famous treasure museum.

Not only does the museum include a very impressive display of treasures, the most exciting is actually the Baroque architecture of the old museum and all the treasures on display in the original site. You're not allowed to take pictures, you have to walk into it to feel the shock.

There are a total of new and old museums, and some of the excess collections of the old museum will be put into the new museum. The old museum is not allowed to take photos, the real top collections are all inside. It's a five-minute walk from the bus to Postplatz.

The new museum is on the first floor, it takes about an hour to visit, and there is a 90's Hong Kong mobile phone to give you an audio tour, there are Chinese options. You can take photos and book a tour guide.

The old museum is located on the 0 floor, within 20 minutes of walking, divided into several areas, is the real top collection, there are also mobile phones can choose to explain in Chinese, very exquisite, is the fine collection of King Augustus and Augustus II of the Duchy of Sax.

The courtiers of the Mughal Empire are hidden in the Green Vault of Dresden This gem of art is set with 4,909 diamonds, 160 rubies, 164 emeralds, 1 sapphire, 16 pearls and 2 cameos.


Treasure-house artworks in the historic Green Vault are integrated with unique interior design to form a complex of Baroque art, while the new Green Vault, just one floor above, concentrates on around 1,000 individual pieces, some of which were added to the collection after the death of Augustus II.

All kinds of mechanical craft products, exquisite. It is so clever that it can also use functions (although it has never been used). Compared with the luxury of the Chinese emperor, the German elector's collection was not only luxurious, but also ingenious. We must listen to the explanation in detail, the use of some objects is really very special.

Fascinating objects made of gold, silver, enamel, precious stones, ivory, coconut and ostrich eggs are displayed behind anti-reflective glass in display cases and glinted under state-of-the-art lighting technology, a form of display that meets international standards.

You need a passport or residence card to get your mobile phone's Chinese audio guide. New and old buildings add up to 24 euros, it is recommended to apply for 25 euros student annual pass. We can do it from the window of the Green Dome, but it's 38 euros at the end.

Just walk straight out on Postplatz and see where the city's tour bus drops off, or tour groups or student organizations are probably right to visit. Do not take the route inside the navigation, the signal is not good, easy to circle.

The old green Dome has a stipulated entry time, you can book tickets online, or you can see the time after booking on-site, if there is enough time to eat first, see the old green Dome (0 layer can not take photos) and then see the new green Dome (1 layer can take photos).
