Description
The Dresden Old Masters Picture Gallery is one of the most important collections of European painting in the world.
Founded in 1560 by the Prince Elector of Saxony, it has priceless works by masters such as Raphael, Titian, Rembrandt and Dürer. The jewel of the collection is Raphael's famous 'Sistine Madonna'.
The gallery building, designed by Gottfried Semper, is part of the Zwinger complex. A walk through the halls is like a fascinating journey through time through the history of European art from the 15th to the 18th century.

Gianaurelio Cuniberti (Giovanni)2 months agoThe Gemäldegalerie Dresden is truly a treasure that has emerged from the shadows of history, often referred to as the "Sleeping Beauty" during the communist era. Despite being overlooked for so long, this painting gallery has been beautifully rediscovered and now stands proudly among its esteemed peers like the Uffizi, Prado, the National Gallery and others. Since its establishment in 1746, the gallery has offered an extraordinary collection of masterpieces that captivate art lovers and casual visitors alike. The rich history of the gallery, coupled with its stunning exhibits, makes it an absolute excellence in Dresden. Whether you're an art aficionado or just looking for a cultural experience, the Gemäldegalerie is a must-visit. It’s a powerful reminder of the resilience of art and culture, and a testament to Dresden's commitment to preserving its artistic heritage. Don't miss the chance to experience this magnificent collection! Support it becoming a member of the association MUSEIS SAXONICIS USUI!
Don Pokochaa year agoThis is an amazing gallery with vast amounts of masterpieces. There are so many famous paintings, and it’s almost overwhelming! I was here for 3 hours but could have easily spent the whole day if they had a nice cafe inside. "The Sistine Madonna" by Raphael and "Girl reading a letter at an open window" by Vermeer are the highlights in my opinion.
Sergey Fetiskin7 months agoAbsolutely lovely collection and well decorated rooms, but annoying alarm system kills all the joy. You can neither see details nor point it to someone else. Constant bzzz in all halls. It would be nice to fine tune it.Related categories
