Ways to Experience this attraction
Zwinger, Dresden Overview
The Zwinger is a Baroque palace and museum complex located in the heart of Dresden, Germany, near the Semper Opera House. Built in the early 18th century, it is known for its grand architecture, beautiful gardens, and cultural significance. The site houses world-class museums, including the Old Masters Picture Gallery and the Royal Cabinet of Mathematical and Physical Instruments.
Originally constructed as an Orangery and for court festivities, the Zwinger was eventually used for exhibitions. Architect Matth_us P_ppelmann and the sculptor Balthasar Permoser designed this yet another splendid example of late Baroque architecture. The Zwinger has opulent courtyards adorned with fountains. Beyond the courtyards lie the Gem_ldegalerie Alte Meister (Old Masters Gallery) and Porzellansammlung (Porcelain Collection), and the Mathematisch-Physikalischer Salon with its historical scientific instruments, which cannot be missed.
