The Albertinum is a museum of modern art in Dresden, the capital of the German state of Saxony. It sits at Tzschirnerplatz 2, in the city centre, in a 19th-century building that was reconstructed after the Second World War. It is also known as the Albertinum Dresden and forms part of the Dresden State Art Collections.
What you will see
The museum brings together two strands of art. Visitors can look at German Romantic paintings, which give a clear sense of the artistic mood of the period in and around Saxony. Alongside these are contemporary sculptures, so the visit moves from the historic to the present day within a single building.
