Located on Bruehl’s Terrace in the heart of Dresden’s historic precinct, the Albertinum is one of the city’s most picturesque buildings. Like much of the city, the original structure was destroyed in the 1945 bombing of Dresden, but was masterfully reconstructed in its original style in 1953.

See how the works of the two collections converse with each other the gallery is designed to facilitate interactions between the mediums. The constantly rotating collection also features a number of contemporary works alongside the older pieces of the gallery in a progressive display of curatorial thinking.
