Neues Grünes Gewölbe - Dresden, Germany - Art Museums on Waymarking.com

[Picture taking is not permitted in this museum.]

The Neues Grünes Gewölbe, one floor up from the ground floor in the Dresden Residenzschloss, complements the collection of precious objects displayed in the Historisches Grünes Gewölbe, the reconstructed treasure chamber created by August the Strong (1670-1733) and located on the ground floor.

Here, 1,000 selected masterpieces of treasury art can be viewed close-up in showcases made of antiglare glass, with perfect lighting that enables every detail to be appreciated. As well as the unique cabinet pieces created by the Dresden court jeweller Dinglinger, such as the Royal Household of the Grand Mogul and the Golden Coffee Service, there are fascinating precious objects made of gold, silver, enamel and gemstones, ivory, mother-of-pearl, coconuts and ostrich eggs.

An example of a tiny object that has become a magnet for visitors is the cherry stone described in the inventory as being carved with “185 faces”, a masterpiece of micro carving. Another fascinating item is the hat clasp decorated with the only large naturally green diamond that has ever been found. August III purchased it at the 1742 Easter Fair in Leipzig for the immense sum of 400,000 Thalers! The spellbound reactions of the visitors show that these works of art have lost nothing of their fascination over the centuries.
