The fine copper engravings by the German engraver Michael Keyl (1722-1798) show a Baroque mineral gallery built for this purpose - the Dresdner Zwinger - which included a shell cabinet, a coral cabinet, an amber cabinet, a fossil cabinet, a cabinet with shells and corals, etc., and even a model of the Temple of Solomon, all described in this work by the German mineralogist and museum curator Christian Heinrich Eilenburg (1710-1771), and together forming one of the largest and richest natural history collections of its time.

During WW2 it was almost entirely destroyed, but was restored and rebuilt in the 1960s.
