“The Dresden Residence-Castle: Sixteen Years of Growth of a New Museum”
In 1994 the New Green Vault opened as the first part of the Dresden Castle, as it began its transformation from a ruin of World War II into a splendid modern museum featuring princely treasures. This milestone was followed in 2006 with the opening of the Historic Green Vault, then the Turkish Chamber in 2010, the Hall of Giants in 2013, which housed the most important arms and armor of the Rüstkammer, and the Renaissance Wing in 2017. The final stage of this historic reconstruction opened in 2019. The lecture will present plans for a time machine that will allow visitors to spend hours in the splendor of the past.
