Kunstgewerbemuseum Dresden, Museum of decorative arts in Pillnitz Castle, Dresden, Germany
The Museum of Decorative Arts occupies the Water Palace and Mountain Palace sections of Pillnitz Castle, situated between the Elbe River and vineyards.

The collection contains golden thrones, silver furniture, Italian majolica, Delft pottery, German stoneware, and textiles from European and Oriental origins.
