Exhibition Dresden - Green Vault Dresden
The Grünes Gewölbe (Green Vault) enjoys world renown as one of Europe’s most sumptuous treasure chambers.
The famous collection of the Wettin electors is returned to its historic home in the Dresden Royal Palace. In two exhibition areas "Neues Grünes Gewölbe" (New Green Vault) and "Historisches Grünes Gewölbe" (Historic Green Vault) of very different character, visitors will experience these magnificent artworks of gold, silver, precious gems, enamel, ivory, bronze and amber in an intensity unparalleled to date.
New Green Vault: presents some 1,080 objects of the Renaissance to Classicist periods. A circular tour through ten rooms focuses on many of the collection’s major works, including the Golden Coffee Set, the Royal Household of the Grand Mogul and more.
Historic Green Vault: the circular tour climaxes in the Jewel Room where the jewel sets of August the Strong and his son are on view – a unique historical collection of eighteenth-century ceremonial jewellery.
The Green Vault of Dresden is closed every Tuesday.
