Grünes Gewölbe (Green Vault): a surfeit of wealth

Musical clocks with figurines in turned ivory casings, galleys of cut rock crystal from the
Renaissance period, Baroque pearl figurines with colourful enamelling, exotic sea-snails and corals
in precious golden or silver settings, not to mention the precious gemstones adorning Baroque
jewel garnitures and, finally, famous curiosities such as the cherry pit decorated with more
than 100 carved faces or the court of Grand Mogul Aureng-Zeb created by renowned court
goldsmith J.M. Dinglinger – all this will thoroughly astound you during a one-hour tour
of the treasury of Augustus the Strong and his forbears held in the New Green Vault in Dresden’s palace.

Tip: The ideal conclusion for a walking tour of the historic city centre. If you buy a
combination ticket you can see the collection in its entirety including the Historic Green Vault,
which is presented in a splendid setting as in the eighteenth century.
