The
Green
Vault
is
a
museum
located
in
Dresden,
Germany,
which
contains
the
largest
treasure
collection
in
Europe.
The
museum
was
founded
in
1723
by
Augustus
the
Strong
of
Poland
and
Saxony,
and
it
features
a
variety
of
exhibits
in
styles
from
Baroque
to
Classicism.
The
Green
Vault
is
named
after
the
formerly
malachite
green
painted
column
bases
and
capitals
of
the
initial
rooms.
It
has
some
claim
to
be
the
oldest
museum
in
the
world;
it
is
older
than
the
British
Museum,
opened
in
1759,
but
the
Vatican
Museums
date
their
foundation
to
the
public
display
of
the
newly
excavated
Laocoön
group
in
1506.
After
the
bombing
of
Dresden
during
World
War
II,
the
Green
Vault
was
completely
restored.
Today,
its
treasures
are
shown
in
two
exhibitions:
The
Historic
Green
Vault
is
famous
for
its
splendors
of
the
historic
treasure
chamber
as
it
existed
in
1733,
while
the
New
Green
Vault
focuses
the
attention
on
each
individual
object
in
neutral
rooms.
The
Green
Vault
is
located
on
the
first
and
second
floors
of
the
western
section
of
Dresden
Castle.
It
is
now
part
of
the
Dresden
State
Art
Collections.
