Green Vault (also known as Grünes Gewölbe) is a Baroque treasury museum set within the Dresden Palace, the Residenzschloss, in the city of Dresden in Saxony, Germany. It is found at Taschenberg 2 in the historic centre, so it sits among the city's other palace buildings and is easy to reach on foot as part of a wider walk through the old town.
What you will see
The museum houses a collection of jewels, precious objects and decorative arts, gathered as a treasury for the Saxon court. It is generally regarded as one of the richest collections of its kind in Europe. Visitors who enjoy fine craftsmanship, goldwork, gemstones and the decorative style of the Baroque period will find much to look at here.
Who the visit suits
- Visitors with an interest in decorative arts and jewellery
- Those exploring the Baroque heritage of Dresden
- Travellers who want an indoor visit in the historic centre
