The eight display rooms with their exquisite interiors and the highly impressive mise en scène of the collection were designed to inspire amazement in the visitors. The extravagant profusion of precious objects in gold, silver, enamel and precious stones, the ivories, bronzes and jewellery proclaimed the wealth and artistic taste of the Saxon dynasty. After the wartime closure of the museum in 1942, the art treasures are once again presented in an ambiance specially created for them. ISBN 9783422066441 Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 550 177 S.
