New exhibition opening at Residenzschloss Dresden

In 2026, the interior of the Grand Ballroom and the Propositionssaal on the second floor of the north wing will be fitted out, thus completing the reconstruction of this most prestigious section of Dresden’s Residenzschloss. From spring 2026, the long-planned presentation of the collections in the Residenzschloss will reach a final climax when these rooms are given over for use by the Rüstkammer. 

  • Dates From Spring 2026
  • Opening Hours daily 10—17, Tuesday closed

Im Großen Ballsaal

The most important works of art from this museum will then be on permanent view in attractive and varied displays. The exhibitions in the two main halls in the north wing will primarily feature unique objects that bear witness to the princely entertainments and displays of power at the Saxon court, many being among the most beautiful and precious testimonies to European Renaissance and Baroque court spectacle. After being out of public view for decades, most of these objects have now been restored and can finally be displayed again and given the attention they deserve.
