Semper Gallery, Renaissance art museum in Dresden, Germany
The Semper Gallery stretches along the northern side of the Zwinger complex, featuring intricate stone carvings on both its northern and southern facades.
Architect Gottfried Semper completed this gallery building in 1854 to house the royal court's painting collection, which reopened in 1960 after wartime damage.
The gallery exhibits European paintings from the 13th to 18th centuries, including Raphael's Sistine Madonna and two paintings by Johannes Vermeer.
Located at Theaterplatz 1 in Dresden, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages.
The gallery maintains the first museum heating system in Dresden, allowing year-round visits since its 1855 inauguration as the New Royal Museum.
