Experience large scale sculptures and art that dates back to the Romantic period at this landmark building in Dresden’s historic center.

Established in the late 19th century, Dresden’s Albertinum is a constantly evolving exhibition space that today hosts collections from two of the city’s most important collections. Visit the gallery to take in paintings and sculptures that date back to the Romantic period. See large works by Rodin and Richter alongside pieces from some of Europe’s most revered modern artists.

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. Stop to admire its Renaissance Revival style as you meander through the gardens opposite.

Discover the sculpture collection of the Dresden State Art Collection upon entering the atrium of the Albertinum. The museum’s size allows for large-scale work unseen in other galleries in Dresden. Take in approximately 20 sculptures by French sculptor Auguste Rodin, a highlight of the gallery. Pick up a free audio guide from the admissions desk to learn the history of the works and for some background to the Albertinum.

Make your way upstairs to see the new masters collection, which features a vast array of works from the last two centuries, including pieces by Gerhard Richter and Caspar David Friedrich. 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.

Reach the Albertinum by tram or bus via the Prinaischer Platz and Synagoge stops. The gallery is closed Mondays and an admission fee applies for adults. Those arriving by car will find street parking in the area.
