Turkish Chamber, Ottoman art museum in Dresden Residenzschloss, Germany.
The Turkish Chamber exhibits 600 Ottoman artifacts across 750 square meters, including ceremonial weapons, ornate saddles, and military equipment from the 16th century.
The collection started in the 16th century and gained prominence under Augustus the Strong, who acquired numerous pieces through diplomatic exchanges and purchases from Istanbul.
The museum displays Ottoman tents, including a grand silk and leather structure measuring 20 meters long, demonstrating the cultural exchange between Saxony and the Ottoman Empire.
Located in Dresden's Royal Palace, the Turkish Chamber opens from Wednesday to Monday between 10:00 and 18:00, with regular admission at 12 euros.
Four leather drinking cups from the Ottoman period remain preserved exclusively in this Dresden collection, representing objects not found in other European museums.

Dresden has many monuments that show centuries of history. The heart of the city has baroque churches like the Frauenkirche, rebuilt stone by stone after the war. There are fancy palaces such as the Zwinger, with its collections of porcelain and old paintings. You also find cultural places like the Semperoper, where operas and concerts have been played since the middle of the 1800s. The Brühl promenade runs along the Elbe river, giving a peaceful view of the river and the old town. Beyond the main sites, the city keeps quieter spots. The Hygiene Museum shows exhibits about the human body in a building from the thirties. The Albertinum has modern and contemporary art. A few miles from the center, Moritzburg Castle reflects in the water of its moat and is surrounded by forests. In the city, places like Kunsthofpassage or old shops like Pfunds Dairy remind you of everyday life from long ago. It all makes a walk with a mix of big monuments and small details.
