Leonhardi-Museum, Art museum in Loschwitz district, Dresden, Germany.
The Leonhardi-Museum occupies a converted mill building called Hentschelmühle located at Grundstraße 26 in the Loschwitz district. The space presents rotating exhibitions that showcase regional art collections spanning different periods.
Eduard Leonhardi, a landscape painter, converted this building into an art space between 1882 and 1884 to support emerging artists. The space grew from his desire to nurture and promote new talent in Dresden.
The museum displays works by Dresden artists such as Hermann Glöckner and Wilhelm Müller, whose creations shaped the city's artistic life. These pieces help visitors understand the creative voice of an entire region.
The museum is part of the Museen der Stadt Dresden network and offers group tours along with educational programs. Visitors should check in advance how to best reach the location and whether special guided visits are available.
The grounds are home to a population of wall lizards that add a layer of natural character to this cultural site. These reptiles can often be spotted during warmer months and show how the building fits into its local setting.
