Kunstakademie, Art academy in Inner Old Town, Dresden, Germany
The Dresden Academy of Fine Arts features a glass dome, ornate sandstone decorations, and large windows spanning across eleven symmetrical sections on its main facade.
Constructed between 1887 and 1894 under King Albert's commission, architect Constantin Lipsius designed this neo-renaissance building to house the Royal Academy of Fine Arts.
The academy building incorporates various sandstone types from the Elbe region, with darker Posta sandstone for bases and figures, lighter Cotta sandstone for wall surfaces.
Located at Brühlsche Terrasse 1, the academy welcomes visitors through its exhibition spaces and offers five distinct study programs for approximately 550 students.
During the 1945 Dresden bombings, while surrounding structures collapsed, the academy building maintained its cubic form despite substantial fire damage.
