Albertinum
An art museum on Brühl’s Terrace, showcasing Romantic and contemporary masterpieces from Caspar David Friedrich to Gerhard Richter.
The Albertinum began as a 16th-century arsenal, was converted into a museum in the 19th century, and reopened in 2010 after a major renovation. Its New Masters Gallery holds works from the 19th century to the present, with Caspar David Friedrich’s “Cross in the Mountains,” Monet, Degas, and van Gogh among the highlights. The gallery devoted to Dresden-born Gerhard Richter attracts particular attention. The sculpture collection includes works by Rodin and others. Admission is about €14 (check the SKD website for current prices), and the museum is closed on Mondays. It can be reached on foot from Brühl’s Terrace or Neumarkt.
