Albertinum (1884-87; Adolph Canzler)

This museum boasts varieties of amazing collections from the 19th century to the present. Most paintings and sculptures have no protections or fences so it might be difficult to visit here with very small children. I myself really enjoyed the exhibition and would like to come back again!

I love Love Love this museum! Just go there! Very good modern art collection Sculptures and so Just go! Really!

The Albertinum in Dresden is an absolute must-visit for art lovers! The museum's collection is impressive, showcasing a mix of classic and modern art that offers something for everyone. The layout is well thought out, making it easy to navigate and fully enjoy each piece. The building itself is beautiful, and the location right by the river adds to the experience. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and there's a relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to take your time and really soak in the art. Highly recommended if you're in Dresden!

If you like works of Max Klinger and Otto Dix, this is a right place to visit. Sculptures, pictures etc. There are tasty cakes in cafe. Therefore some moments were not ok: - museum workers could not answer questions about exposition, they clamed some sculptures to be originals, when there were clearly copies; - Mosaic hall is closed and you cannot visit it, but you still have to pay the full price for the ticket and it is expensive; - impessionists placed after the triptych of Otto Dix. It is weird placement as the triptych carries a lot of emotionsl weight and it is complicated to enjoy impressionists pictures after it; - bags policy.

I saw the great exhibition of Caspar David Friedrich. It is well presented but quite busy. Some paintings were difficult to see due to reflections from the spotlights. The explanatory boards were often hard to read due to the white font on a black background.

Be sure to wear an extra outer garment when entering this museum. They will make you remove your outer layer of clothing. Posted policy says "heavy overgarments" are not allowed, but I was prevented from entering wearing a 150 gram ultralight jacket. The enforcer who demanded I remove my ultrathin jacket said it was due to it being a "rain day" but there is no such written policy and the jacket was 100% dry. Unquestioning and overzealous enforcement of unusual and unwritten rules is dehumanizing, but that's part of the story from the moment you see the giant rules board, of which I've photographed about one half of the English part. So bring extra clothes because they don't care if you're too cold after being forced to remove whatever you came in with.

Very big and diverse museum.

Go for the art. But be aware that the staff tends to be very rude. It's not an environment that encourages people, especially children, to develop a passion for art. It's insane when you compare it to the Scandinavian approach. German culture is too elitist to survive.

I was skeptical of this museum (and in particular the exhibit on the 2nd floor) after reading the introductory remarks which are full of typical postmodern art museum BS. That said I found the exhibit enjoyably interesting. 2 hrs here is enough for a quick stroll through the 3 floors. Spend more time on the 2nd. I used the Dresden Museum pass here.
