Museum Aktfotoart Dresden, Fine art nude photography museum in Radeberger Vorstadt, Germany
Museum Aktfotoart Dresden occupies a villa in the Preußisches Viertel of Dresden's Radeberger Vorstadt district, also known as Kunstkeller Dresden. It shows six current works by each of ten photographers, about 60 photographs in all, and the selection changes so that visitors see different positions and styles on return visits.
Volkmar Fritzsche, a metalworker and photographer in the BBK, opened a gallery in the villa in 1996. Over nearly 100 group and solo shows, artists presented erotic painting, graphics, sculpture and photography; Günter Rössler, Klaus Ender, Werner Lieberknecht and Ulrich Lindner exhibited repeatedly. In 2006 the gallery focused on contemporary nude photography, and in 2019 it became Germany's first museum devoted exclusively to that genre.
The museum presents multiple artistic perspectives on the human body, inviting visitors to reconsider how bodies appear in art. The exhibitions showcase works that question conventional ideas about representation and beauty.
