Dresden Marketing GmbH Dresden. Let’s go to the museum A visit to a museum is a must for today‘s visitors on a city break. However, museums were a fashion- able destination in Dresden long before the modern era. Hundreds of years ago, the Kunstkammer, the Chamber of Arts of the ruling house of Saxony, kept a register of visitors, for whom viewing the princely collections was something of an event. Records show that in 1650 there were 400 external visitors to the Kunstkammer, although most of these were guests at the Saxon court. Later, August the Strong opened his collections for limited public access – and an entrance fee was charged! He is thus regarded as the founder of modern public museums. Today, the Dresden museums are a top attraction for both residents of the city and visitors from around the globe.

Spring 201 3 | Dresden Info Service | [email protected] 2 The Dresden State Art Collections – a world-class museum association August the Strong would surely be delighted with the museums of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (Dresden State Art Collections – SKD). This passionate collector who ruled both as Elector of Saxony from 1694, and as King August II of Poland from 1697, until his death in 1733, made it his life’s work to transform Dresden, his royal seat and capital city, into a magnificent European metropolis. The expansion and restructuring of the Kunstkammer, founded in 1560 in the Residenz­ schloss (Royal Palace) by Elector August I of Saxony, was an integral part of this ambitious project.

During his two-year Grand Tour, beginning in 1687, August the Strong was greatly impressed by what he saw in royal courts and artistic centres in France, Italy, Spain and Austria, which were to have a considerable/lasting influence on him. Above all, the Uffizi in Florence and the Schatz- kammer in Vienna served as models for his later concepts for the Dresden collections. From his accession as Elector of Saxony, he systematically developed and extended the collections, and even made his own sketches of plans for the museum.

Under the direction of August the Strong, the Kunstkammer holdings were increasingly sub-divid- ed into separate specialised collections – including the Grünes Gewölbe (Green Vault), Skulpturen- sammlung (Sculpture Collection), and the Kupferstich-Kabinett (Cabinet of Prints and Drawings). Even more significantly, August did not collect purely for himself alone, but also allowed (at first still limited) access to selected members of the public to share his pleasure. His son and successor, Friedrich August II , who reigned from 1733 to 1763 (concurrently also as King August III of Poland), was principally responsible for the development of the Gemäldegalerie, which by the middle of the 18th century had become one of the most important painting galleries in Europe. Today, a total of 14 museums, the Kunstbibliothek (Art Library), the Gerhard Richter Archiv and the Kunst- fonds (Art Fund) comprise the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, one of the most important museum associations in the world.

However, the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden has no intention of resting on its laurels. As their Director General, Hartwig Fischer, says, ‘The Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden are an extraordinary asset to the Free State of Saxony: many people come here just because of these museums. But Saxony has by no means exhausted its full potential. We can make it possible for many more people to share what we have here; they can of course still come here in person, but we can also go to them, using electronic media to create new kinds of access. This is the future Art lover and pioneer: for the great European museums.‘ ­today, the Dresden State The museums of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen can be explored with ease on your smartphone – Art Collections still bear the mark of August the new SKD mobile website is available at http://m.skd.museum in German and English versions. the Strong.

Richard Wagner’s 200th birthday celebrated in museums Throughout the Richard Wagner Festival Year 2013, many institutions in Dresden (including the Semper Opera House, the Dresden Philharmonia and the Staatskapelle Dresden, among others) are celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of the composer and court musical director with a series of special themed events under the banner ‘Where Wagner evolved into WAGNER’.

A major component of the ‘Richard Wagner in Dresden – Mythos und Geschichte’ (‘Richard Wagner in Dresden – Myth and History’) exhibition in the Stadtmuseum (City Museum), which runs from 27 April until 25 August, is a topographical focus on sites associated with Wagner, his places of residence and private retreats. Prominent figures in Dresden’s intellectual and creative circles, as well as politicians and decision-makers of the time with links to Wagner are also highlighted. Wagner’s time in Dresden culminated in his participation in the May Uprising of 1849: the failure of this revolution forced his hasty flight into exile in Switzerland. The numerous myths surround- ing the chequered history of the reception of the composer‘s music in the 20th and 21st centuries is examined in another section of the exhibition. Appropriated by the National Socialists for its Richard Wagner wrote anti-Semitic tendencies and Germanic cult elements, it was, in contrast, also integrated in the ‘Lohengrin’ here in 1846. Today, the Lohengrin- socialist cultural heritage policies of the GDR due to its profession of social reform and progressive haus is one of the ideas. Even today, the myths surrounding Richard Wagner continue to be pervasive. Richard-Wagner-Stätten, Pirna-Graupa.

Spring 201 3 | Dresden Info Service | [email protected] 4 Manuscripts by Wagner are displayed in the Schatzkammer (Treasure Room) of the Saxon State and University Library (SLUB), Dresden. The autograph score of Wagner‘s oratorio ‘Das Liebesmahl der Apostel’ (The Love Feast of the Apostles) can be viewed, as too can his household account books, in which, for example, details of Wagner’s well-stocked Dresden wine cellar can be discov- ered. In addition, historic maps and other documents make it possible to form a clear picture of Wagner’s life and work, and his surroundings. Wagner spent the summer of 1846 on a country estate in Graupa, today part of Pirna. The Lohengrinhaus, which is only 500 metres outside the Dresden city boundary, is the only surviving authentically preserved Wagner residence in eastern Germany, and – particularly during the closure of Haus Wahnfried in Bayreuth for renovation – a mecca for Wagnerians from all over the world. A small exhibition here deals with the creation of Wagner‘s opera ‘Lohengrin’, a substantial part of which was composed in the house. Only a few metres away, in the baroque Jagdschloss (Hunting Lodge) Graupa, the new Richard Wagner Museum, opened in January, presents the composer‘s life and work in Saxony. Here, impressive multi-media installations make his works accessible to a wider public.

Anyone wishing to experience live performances of Wagner’s operas can do so in the Semper Opera House. In addition to his own works, ‘Lohengrin’, ‘The Flying Dutchman’, ‘Tannhäuser’, ‘Tristan and Isolde’, and (from 2014) ‘Parsifal’, there are also performances of operas which Wagner brought from Paris to stage their first performances in Dresden, such as Spontin’s ‘La Vestale’ and Halévy‘s ‘La Juive’. To complement these, a small temporary exhibition on Wagner as orchestra director of the first Semper Opera House is presented in the foyer. Incidentally, today’s building was inspired by Wagner’s concept for a festival theatre: Gottfried Semper based his design for Dresden on his plans for the Wagner festival theatre in Munich, which was never built. This and many other fascinating details can be discovered on guided tours of the Semper Opera House (tours in English usually start at 3 p.m.)

Spring 201 3 | Dresden Info Service | [email protected] 5 Magnificent and brilliant. The SKD celebrate two major openings in 2013 The highlights of 2013 for the museums of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (SKD) are Press contact two long-awaited major events: the opening of the new Riesensaal (Hall of the Giants) in the Staatliche Kunst­ ­Residenzschloss (Royal Palace), and the re-opening of the Mathematisch-Physikalischer Salon sammlungen Dresden Marion Schmidt (Royal Cabinet of Mathematical and Physical Instruments) in the Zwinger on 14 April. [email protected] Since 19 February, the people of Dresden and their guests have once again been able to enjoy to the full magnificence of the recreated Riesensaal – 280 years after its ‘disappearance’ in 1733. It is now a splendid setting for some of the most precious objects from the holdings of the Rüstkammer (Armoury), one of the world’s most important and valuable collections of ceremo- nial weapons, armour and costume. Some 350 objects from this collection, housed in the Zwinger from 1959 to 2012, are shown here in completely new displays. Using original weapons, tournament swords, lances and armour ­dating from the late 15th to the 17th century, the exhibition recreates scenes from three separate tournaments, each featuring a different major event – jousting with sharp lances, tilting and a foot tourney. After the 2010 opening of the Türkische Cammer (Turkish Chamber), for the Rüstkammer this is the next step towards displaying more aspects of its collection in the Residenzschloss (Royal Palace).

It is only a few steps from the Residenzschloss to the Zwinger, where, after a long period of closure, the Mathematisch-Physikalischer Salon is to re-open its doors to the public on 14 April. One of the world‘s oldest collections of historical scientific instruments will be presented in splendid new displays over twice its previous area of exhibition space. Although the origins of the collection date from the electoral Kunstkammer (chamber of the arts), founded in 1560, it became an independ- ent museum in the Zwinger in 1728 – and was at that time known as the ‘Königliches Cabinet der mathematischen und physikalischen Instrumente’ (Royal Cabinet of Mathematical and Physical Instruments). Originally the collection’s sole purpose was to enhance the prestige of Saxony‘s rulers, but from the middle of the 18th century it developed into a modern observatory, and from 1783 provided a first standard timekeeping service. This determined Dresden’s official time for daily at noon, when it was used to regulate the city’s other timepieces. Thus, the Mathematisch- Physikalischer Salon also laid the foundations for the development of precision timekeeping in Saxony, which from 1845 went on write its own success story in nearby Glashütte. There is hardly another museum in Europe which can match the wealth and diversity of masterpieces of the in- strument-maker’s art in its holdings – ranging from terrestrial and celestial globes, astronomical and geodetic devices, barometers and thermometers to finely detailed, richly decorated instru- ments for calculation, drawing and measurement of every kind. SKD poster for the Four exhibition spaces and the ‘Salon in the Salon’, an area for experiment and hands-on discovery, re-opening of the Mathematisch- allow visitors to experience, in the true sense of the word, these exhibits and what each meant in Physikalischer Salon. their own particular era.

Oldest, youngest, largest, smallest – Dresden’s superlative museums Which is Dresden‘s oldest museum, and where can you find the smallest exhibit? And did you know that the first bi-national museum in Germany is right here in Dresden? We have put ­together just a few of our Dresden museum superlatives for you below.

The oldest museum association in Germany, founded more than 450 years ago, is the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (SKD – State Art Collections Dresden). According to travel review website Trip Advisor, the Grünes Gewölbe, one of the SKD’s 14 museums, is the 7th most popular museum in Germany.

The most famous exhibit in Dresden is definitely Raphael’s ‘Sistine Madonna’, who celebrated her 500th anniversary in 2012. The Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, where this painting was magnificently displayed as the focal point of the major special exhibition ‘The Sistine Madonna – Raphael’s iconic painting turns 500’, attracted more than half a million visitors last year.

The smallest museum in the city is the Schillerhäuschen (Schiller Pavilion), with exhibition space Supersize: of only 20 sq. m. It commemorates Schiller’s time in Dresden, where he completed ‘Ode an die the 360° Panorama Freude’ (‘Ode to Joy‘), among other works. DRESDEN in the asisi Panometer.

Spring 201 3 | Dresden Info Service | [email protected] 7 The largest art work in Dresden is 107 metres long and 27 metres high, has a surface area of 2,900 sq. m., and weighs 750 kilograms. At the asisi Panometer, visitors can marvel at the revised version of this 360° panorama, entitled ‘DRESDEN. Myth of the Baroque Royal Seat’. This massive work has been on display in the former gasometer in Dresden-Reick since December 2012. Artist Yadegar Asisi has condensed a timespan of 65 years from around 1695 to 1760 to create an artistic snapshot of the splendour of Dresden’s Baroque heyday.

Probably the smallest exhibit is to be found in the Grünes Gewölbe (Green Vault), in the form of a cherry stone, carved with 113 tiny human faces. The fine details of this exhibit can be viewed through a magnifying glass.

Dresden can also boast another special attraction. The Kraszewski Museum, opened in 1960, is Germany’s first bi-national museum. It is jointly supported by Germany and Poland, and fosters German-Polish dialogue between artists, politicians and scholars. A new bilingual permanent ­exhibition on the Polish writer Józef Ignacy Kraszewski, who lived and worked in exile in Dresden from 1863 to 1885, was opened in January. Among his wide range of works are novels on Elector August the Strong and his mistress, Countess Cosel.

Spring 201 3 | Dresden Info Service | [email protected] 8 Don’t miss these! Exhibition highlights in 2013 Dresden’s 50 museums once again offer a cornucopia of (special) exhibitions in 2013. Their thematic focus concentrates principally on humankind and the human condition – how they are depicted in art, the lives and works of renowned individual figures, the fruits of their passion for collecting, and aspects of life in society as a whole. Four exhibitions are devoted to Richard Wagner alone.

Two sensational new (re-)openings by the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden – the Riesensaal (Hall of the Giants) for the Rüstkammer (Armoury) and the Mathematisch-Physikalischer Salon (Royal Cabinet of Mathematical and Physical Instruments) – greatly extend the magnificent displays of the holdings in the SKD’s collections, which owe a great debt to the artistic sensibilities and enthusiasm for collecting of the former rulers of Saxony.

Spring 201 3 | Dresden Info Service | [email protected] 10 Please touch the exhibits! Interactive museum experience The days when museums could still attract visitors just by showing walls and glass cases crammed full with exhibits are long gone. New ways to present and display objects are in demand, while interactive installations and media stations play an increasingly important role. The Staatliche Kunstsammlungen (SKD – State Art Collections Dresden) recognised this and collaborate closely with a number of research institutes and universities in Germany and abroad to offer their visitors a very special museum experience.

For the new Permanent exhibition of the Mathematisch-Physikalischer Salon (Royal Cabinet of Mathematical and Physical Instruments), the creators of the exhibition have worked with Professor Markus Wacker’s Department of Computer Graphics at the Dresden University of Applied Sciences (Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft – HTW). The Mathematisch-Physikalischer Salon and the HTW Dresden have jointly produced a series of 12 interactive digital visualisations, which allow visitors to experience individual objects from the collection in action, and to use them themselves. Included in the exhibition is a digital reconstruction of one of the world’s oldest surviving ­calculators, the ‘Pascaline’, designed in 1650 by Blaise Pascal. Visitors can try out for themselves this virtual version of a masterwork of its time – right next to the original exhibit. A series of these digital applications are the result of degree projects jointly supervised by the Mathematisch- Physikalischer Salon and the HTW Dresden.

Dr Peter Plassmeyer, Director of the Mathematisch-Physikalischer Salon, is delighted with their long-term collaboration with the HTW Dresden. ‘Our collaboration with the scientists and students of the Department of Computer Graphics is key in two respects to greater understanding of the objects we hold. First, it has enabled us in our new presentation in the Zwinger not only to display these objects, but also to bring them to life for visitors, and allow them to understand them. On a scientific level, it has become clear that such visualisations of objects also open up a wealth of possibilities for further research.’
