Dresden City Art Gallery, Art museum in Dresden, Germany

Dresden City Art Gallery occupies the first floor of the Landhaus, a building erected between 1770 and 1775 to designs by court architect Friedrich August Krubsacius. Its permanent collection fills the west wing, showing painters and sculptors from 1900 into the 21st century, while the east wing holds temporary exhibitions.

The collection began with the Society for the History and Topography of Dresden and its Surroundings, founded in 1869, whose members bought the first paintings. From 1919 to 1924 director Paul Ferdinand Schmidt built a collection of German Expressionist art, buying works by Heckel, Kirchner, Dix and Kokoschka. In 1937 the Nazis seized 498 works as "degenerate art", most still missing. The city council approved a municipal art museum in 2000, and the gallery opened in the Landhaus on 2 July 2005.

The gallery's holdings grew from the Society for the History and Topography of Dresden, founded in 1869, whose members collected portraits of city figures and views of Dresden and its surroundings. Director Paul Ferdinand Schmidt (1919–1924) added works by Heckel, Kirchner, Dix, Kokoschka and Schwitters. Today the west wing shows a permanent display from 1900 to the 21st century, while the east wing hosts temporary exhibitions.

The gallery occupies the first floor of the Landhaus, sharing the building with the Stadtmuseum Dresden; the permanent collection is in the west wing and temporary exhibitions in the east wing. Nearby are the Museum Festung Dresden and the Albertinum.

On 10 December 2007 the gallery acquired around 40 paintings, 330 watercolours and drawings and 80 prints by A. R. Penck from the collection of Jürgen Schweinebraden, plus over 100 works by friends of the artist group Lücke.
