Dresden Porcelain Collection, Porcelain museum in Zwinger Palace, Dresden, Germany

The Dresden Porcelain Collection exhibits over 20,000 ceramic pieces within the Zwinger Palace, including Chinese, Japanese, and European porcelain artifacts.

Augustus the Strong established the collection in 1715, leading to the creation of Germany's first porcelain factory in Meissen during 1708.

The collection demonstrates the exchange between Asian and European ceramic traditions through Ming Dynasty works and early Meissen porcelain productions.

The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00, with admission tickets priced at 14 euros for adults and 10.50 euros for concessions.

The gallery features life-sized animal sculptures, including monkeys, lions, and peacocks, displayed against leather wall coverings from the 18th century.
