    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.

    Unglaublich schön und einzigartig. Wir hatten viel weniger Zeit eingeplant und waren dann über Stunden von den Ausstellungsstücke gefesselt. Die Möglichkeit so nahe an die Ausstellungsstücke zu kommen und so die wunderschönen Schmuckstücke bis ins Detail bestaunen zu können, hat uns sehr glücklich gemacht.

    Part of one of the moat richest treasury in Europe. You do get an audio guide which explains you everything, so you do not need a guide to show you around. They have so many mind blowing collections of all kinds of gemstones, ivory collections, gold decor and the famous green diamond which is the main part of attraction here. They also have the golden model of the court from Moughal emperor Aurangzeb, which is so delicately and nicely explained. It took me 10 minutes to go through all those minute details. It is one of its kind. Do not miss the chance to see and admire the famous Green diamond.

    This place has so much to see. I would not bother with a tour. We had signed our 10th graders up for a tour and it was way too short. Sadly, you do not really get to see that much on the on the tour. We really only saw what felt about 2% of the exhibition. I highly recommend using your ticket to climb to the top of the tower because you have an amazing view.

    Online Ticket bestellen und hinein in August Schatzkammer. Sehr hilfreich ist der Audioguide, mit dessen Hilfe die verschiedenen Säle und Exponate erklärt wurden. Vorsicht bitte beim zeigen auf die Ausstellungsstücke. Unter Umständen geht ein Alarm los. Garderobe bitte vor betreten der Ausstellung abgeben. Fotos sind im grünen Gewölbe nicht gestattet, in den anderen Räumen darf man. Sehr schöne Ausstellungsstücke- bringt viel Zeit mit

    Wie wunderschön. Man muss es einfach gesehen haben. Den kleinen Kirschkern verziert. In der damaligen Zeit ohne elektrisches Licht. Mega. Die ganze Ausstellung ein Highlight. Ob Waffen, Heereskunst, Kleidung, Uhren oder Münzen der damaligen Zeit alles super interessant.

  • 5/5 Lisa R. 6 months ago on Google • 20 reviews
    Absolut empfehlenswert! Einfach vorab Tickets online buchen (vor allem für das historische Grüne Gewölbe zu empfehlen) und die Zeit dort genießen. Viele kleine Museen nah beieinander, sodass man wirklich sehr viel entdecken kann. Man sollte aber mindestens einen halben Tag an Zeit einplanen um ohne Stress sich alles in Ruhe anschauen zu können.

    A very large and varied collection of jewelry. The collection of Saxon electors and kings has more than 4,000 unique works of art. In the new halls of the Green Vaults, nearly 1,100 pieces of jewelry are represented, about 3,000 items are on display in historical halls. Due to limited space, the museum’s exposition includes only the most famous and valuable masterpieces of jewelry. The name "Dragon Treasure Cave" would be very suitable for this museum. Although everything looks very beautiful and interesting here, the "green room" itself with its jewels on display is really amazing. Yes, you must see this amazing place. You can take an audio guide in different languages.

    I don't have an artistic sensibility, and generally can't appreciate decorative items. I went just to accompany the wife. But I was bowled over! Incredible items, well presented! Plus the audio guide narrative is excellent! I thoroughly recommend this place!

    I paid 16 euros for entrance only for old and new Grüne Gewölbe parts. It was worth everything because the old grüne gewölbe part was impressive. They have a big jewellery collection. Not allowed to take photos. you can only pass the security door to enter the old grüne gewölbe. for a few people can visit the rooms. There are 7 special rooms. When I got there the ticket was almost finished then I bought a late-hour ticket that was 2 euros more expensive than the normal one. And they sell tickets limited I highly recommend buying tickets as many as earlier.

    It was very nice but I think it wasn't worth the price. There were equally nice objects in the rest of the palace. Had I known this I wouldn't have bought the combined ticket. Of course it doesn't mean it wasn't amazing!

    The Green Vault is a must when you visit Dresden. Reconstructed after the 1945 bombing, the Vault houses the treasury of the Kingdom of Saxony. There you can appreciate the Old masters art, carved in several materials(Gold, silver, Âmbar, Bronze, precious stones, ivory, etc) The audio guide is included in the ticket price and it explains the several unique pieces that are present in the Vault. If you are nearby, take to opportunity to visit the rest of the palace, since it's well worth it.

    Unfortunately, there is not allowed to make photos inside. But you can see pictures on Google Map or in internet. There are 9 halls which are very different, but all of them are very interesting and just fantastic. 3 of the total 9 halls of the Green Vault, which are located on the side of the Palace courtyard, were completely destroyed in February 1945 and then were made again based on photographs and drawings. Entrance is limited, and it is better to buy tickets beforehand. The entrance fee is 14 euros

    No information about limits with tripod for camera. Bad light for photos. You must leave bag, because items are close to visitors. What you can see in photo 😐 And generally lack of information before you buy ticket. Administration of museum think about that!

    Very rude staff. I did not know you weren’t allowed to take pictures in the Gewölbe (since there are no signs anywhere that prohibit it) and was approached very rudely by an employee of the museum. She even asked me to delete all the photos that I’ve taken and to see my private photos on my phone to check that there are none left! Data privacy has left the building! Absolutely unbelievable.

    A famed museum inside Dresden Castle This is one of the oldest currently existing museums in the world, being originally the private collection of beautiful objects belonging to Augustus the Strong. Here you can see exquisite works of ivory, amber, gold and silver and a host of gems and beautifully worked objects. It is not just famed for its beauty, but also infamous for being the site of one of the largest jewel thefts in history, with a raid in 2019 seeing some incredibly expensive gems stolen. The stolen gems have not yet been recovered. Even with these pieces missing, the museum is still most certainly worth a visit. There is significant security and bags and jackets must be checked in before entering. Note that some of the artworks in the collection are on display elsewhere.

    I have to say, it's worth the money but don't rush, take your time and spare some. The location is quite deceiving, I did not expect much when I entered but man was I in for a shocking surprise. When I entered I did not expect much, but, weeeewwww! This place is a sight to behold. The history is beautiful, it's just amazing what is inside and what you learn in those few hours you take to move around. It has a mix of slightly modern with old architectural designs and items inside. Do wear some flat and flexible walking shoes it will take a while to explore. To recommend it? Yep, I recommend it 100%. Will I go back? A day I have free yesssss!

    Amazing place. You can spend full day here. 12€ entrance fee (cards are accepted). Don't forget coin to use the luggage storage (no entrance with bags) - 1 or 2€ (see no sense in that - you'll receive your coin back after you take your belongings). Tons of masterpieces, gorgeous view from the tower! A place that must be visited!

    Dazzling display of wealth. This is a must see in Dresden. Timed entry is required, and you can’t take any pictures in the old green vault. All the pictures are from the new green vault. I’d say the old green vault is worth it because it’s even more luxurious than the new one.

  • 5/5 Christa D. 4 years ago on Google
    I didn't event know what to expect. There were thousands of treasures to view. So many beautiful pieces. I enjoyed the jewels, coral, and amber pieces the most. It takes a long time to view specifically in the new vault. The historic vault was fine but I found more amazing things in the new vault. It was a lot to see and did get tiring. You can take photos (no flash). I felt there was enough space and clear labels. I don't think younger kids would appreciate it. I am so glad I did this! Would recommend.

    (Translated by Google) Great exhibits and good explanations via an audio guide. Highly recommended for viewing. However, order tickets early or purchase them in advance, otherwise they will be sold out. Currently only a certain number of visitors can be admitted. Single entry costs 12.00 euros - with the Sparkasse card 3.00 euros reduction. It is worth asking 😉😃 (Original) Tolle Ausstellungsstücke und gute Erklärungen über einen Audio-Guide. Sehr empfehlenswert zum Besichtigen. Allerdings frühzeitig Eintrittskarten bestellen oder vorab erwerben, da ansonsten ausverkauft. Z.zt. können nur eine gewisse Anzahl von Besuchern eingelassen werden. Einzeleintritt kostet 12.00 Euro - mit der Sparkassenkarte 3.00 Euro Ermäßigung. Nachfragen lohnt sich 😉😃

    Wenn man in Dresden ins Schloss geht, muss man sich aufjedenfall alles anschauen und viel Zeit mitbringen. An der Kasse wird gesagt, man braucht ungefähr 3 Stunden. Das schafft man gar nicht. Ich war knapp 5 Stunden drin. Unfassbar welche Schätze im " historischen grünen Gewölbe" stehen. Ach im " neuen grünen Gewölbe" stehen Schätze von unglaublichen Werten. In den anderen Teilen des Schlosses stehen Sachen, die ich noch nirgends gesehen habe. MUST HAVE in Dresden. Bei meinem Besuch waren auch kleinere Kinder dort. Für die ist es langweilig und nicht zu empfehlen.

  • 3/5 Bernard B. 1 year ago on Google
    It's very nice as a museum, and the exhibits are very beautiful to look at. It is very luxurious and is aimed at older visitors with very little to no attractions geared for children

  • 5/5 George W. 3 years ago on Google
    See some amazing miniature ivory carvings and lathe pieces from the 16th century. The amount of detail on these small pieces are spectacular and are a must see.

  • 3/5 George Catalin M. 1 year ago on Google
    The historical green vault is incredible and the guided audios are very useful and interesting to listen to! But BIG ADVICE: don’t take the 4:45pm ticket, because the security guards inside will literally kick you out. We had a few minutes left until 6pm and the same retarded security guy kept coming to us to tell us they’re gonna close. Like .. okay??? Can you wait until I finish my audio in the LAST room at least? (I had the audio on). I was so incredibly angry, why do they sell tickets at 4:45 if the tour takes 90 minutes and they kick you out at 5:55??

  • 5/5 Dan P. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the most incredible and interesting collections of opulence that exists. Audio guide highly recommended as there are no labels on anything Buy the combination ticket so you can tour the entire palace complex

  • 5/5 Ling 1 year ago on Google
    Enjoyed looking at the treasures. Spent half a day. Number of visitors to the old green vault are kept small at any one time. The museum paces the ticket sales every 15mins to control the crowd size.

  • 4/5 Ted O. 1 year ago on Google
    Of course the splendor of the subject material is not to be dismissed but is it worth the additional ticket price; perhaps not. The rest of the castle has just as much, if not more, to offer. But if you are here you might as well visit.

  • 4/5 reza n. 1 year ago on Google
    Good and interesting. If you're not that much interested in museums, I will suggest you go and visit there if you didn't visit any other museum for last one year. Otherwise it may be a little boring.

  • 5/5 Marc L. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing! Simply amazing! What an extraordinary collection! Wow, wow and wow! Art, weapons, tools, clothing, decoration, daily life attributes and much more, displayed in big halls and rooms with enough space in between. You can still "breathe" in this museum and you don't have the feeling that you're walking in a bazaar (like in many other museums). In its genre, this is by far the best museum that we have visited so far. You can easily spend half a day (or more) here. The audio guides are top and the personnel is very friendly and helpful. We'll worth the money!

  • 5/5 Martin N. 1 year ago on Google
    Very enjoyable, both the historical and the new vault are worth seeing. For the historical Green Vault I got appointed time T+1:45, during this time I managed to get through the New vault, I would recommend about 2 to 2,5 hours for each, to really enjoy them. If you like shiny and pretty, you will be satisfied ;)

  • 3/5 Julian A. 1 year ago on Google
    .... mass of jewels, riches, sculptures, huge collections and very ornate precious items. It shows how one family or monarch can indulge in such extravagance while the normal people of the time were trying to survive. Not unlike most cultures I have seen. Good that these items are now shared for all to see...

  • 5/5 Birgit & T. 6 months ago on Google • 14 reviews
    Sehr groß und man kann vieles bestaunen, aber es ist wichtig viel Zeit einzuplanen. Sehr schöne Stücke sind zu sehen und man kommt aus dem Staunen nicht raus. Es gibt auch Sitzgelegenheiten und wenn man nicht mehr laufen kann und erschöpft ist, kann man raus gehen und vielleicht Essen gehen und was trinken. Die Karte gilt für den ganzen Tag. Es ist aber wichtig, daß man alle Taschen und Jacken abgeben muss. Ein sehr schönes Erlebnis..

  • 5/5 Elizabeth B. 1 year ago on Google
    An astonishing collection of artefacts made of a huge variety of precious stones, valuable metals ... all made by highly skilled craftsmen. Wondering around and trying to guess what each item might be worth was only part of the fun.

  • 5/5 Emily S. 10 months ago on Google
    I really recommend any adult to visit here. Definitely not for kids and even younger teens might be lacking the context to appreciate what they will see. It felt to me like a once in a lifetime experience, like seeing things you didn't know could exist and that you weren't ever meant to see (because I'm a peasant). Anyway on a weekday I was able to book an afternoon slot on the morning of. Maybe better to book the day before though. It's 14€ but so worth it. There's art and nature museums worldwide but there's truly nothing else like this museum, at least for Europe. When you arrive you have to follow the signs to the historical vault doors, then deposit your bags and jackets in the storage area with a 1€ deposit. You can bring your phone inside the secure area but they ask you not to take pictures. They give you an audioguide (different languages) so you can understand the rooms and objects as you go. FYI if you reach over the railings by accident, the alarm will sound and it's embarrassing. They even address the theft and missing objects at their former location. I did notice the information they give doesn't seem up to date with the latest prosecution of the Berlin gang. So many objects were completely mesmerizing and you will be very overwhelmed by the whole thing. 1.5hr visit for me.

    So nice exhibitions and collections for the 15-16 centuries. Even though the underground exhibitions ticket was sold out, it still took me 3 hours to go through the ones on first and second floor. Bags are all need to be kept in the locker, and you need 1 or 2 dollar coin to keep the locker locked until you open it. You can take back the coin when you open the locker.

    Great gallery, they have a lot of art treasures. Unfortunately it is not well organized the entrance and a little bit confusing. They don’t allow you in some parts to go inside with your camera but in others it’s allowed. It is good that they take care of your coat, there are also lockers for your bags 💼.

  • 5/5 Maria P. 8 months ago on Google
    An amazing collection that is definitely worth visiting! We spent about an hour inside and enjoyed to the max! Also, buy your tickets online in advance, because they only allow a limited number of people per hour and there are almost never same-day tickets available on site!

    An impressive place and a must-see for whoever is fascinated by gemstones, ivory and gold. Unfortunately the Green Vault is not included in the regular entrance fee for the Residence Palace. So all in all a bit pricey, but still an impressive experience.

  • 5/5 SALMAN D. 4 years ago on Google
    A wonderful place to visit so many historical artifacts can be found here. When visiting this place I am so recommend to buy a museum card as there are multiple museum's inside Residenzschloss (Dresden castle) and in nearby areas. The museum is situated in the heart of the Dresden also public transport like tram can be used to get there. The Museum is beautiful and you can get a audio device to get to know more details about certain artifacts in audio by simply entering the artifact code Number. A must Visit place in Dresden.

    Will be interesting for people interested in spending many hours looking at small exquisite statues, clocks, guns. Not a lot of furniture/royal rooms but throne hall and bedroom are impressive

    This palace with the recently restored rooms and it's exhibitions (including the New Green vault) is one of the BEST IN EUROPE!!! When the courtyard and the last rooms will be finished it will be a total treasure!

    (Translated by Google) It is definitely worth a visit, so book tickets online. fantastic exhibits, impressive jewelry art. a star print because you are not allowed to take photos in the historical green vault, but in the new green vault. the entrance fees are also rather high. (Original) ein besuch lohnt sich in jedem fall, karten am besten online buchen. fantastische exponate, beeindruckende schmuck-kunst. ein stern abzug da man im historischen grünen gewölbe nicht fotografieren darf, allerdings im neuen grünen gewölbe. ebenso sind die eintrittspreise eher gehoben.

    (Translated by Google) Simply overwhelming what you have built up and put together again. If you plan to visit everything in one day in the cold season, you should wear warm underwear and a warm sweater. Jackets, coats, rucksacks and bags have to be left at the cloakroom.! The navigation within the building sometimes leaves a lot to be desired. Fortunately, friendly staff are always ready to help. (Original) Einfach überwältigend was man wieder aufgebaut und zusammen getragen hat.Wer vor hat alles an einem Tag zu besichtigen in der kalten Jahreszeit, sollte warme Unterwäsche und ein warmen Pullover anziehen. Jacken Mäntel,Rucksack und Beutel muss man an der Garderobe abgeben.!Die Navigation innerhalb des Gebäudes lässt manchmal zu wünschen übrig.Zum Glück stehen überall freundliches Personal hilfestellend bereit.

    A gigantic collection of beautiful artifacts. In addition to the culture chamber and armory there is the treasure collection in the historic Green vault. They have audio tours allowing you to be guided through the vault by professional commentary. Because of the pandemic you must book a time-slot for the Green Vault, but can peruse the rest of the castle at your leisure. You will need a lot of time :-)

    (Translated by Google) Incredibly beautiful exhibits very informative tour only the safety precautions are a bit annoying but understandable, hopefully the monkeys will find them and book them for a long time. (Original) Unbeschreiblich schöne Exponate sehr informative Führung nur die Sicherheitsvorkehrungen sind bissel nervig aber verständlich hoffentlich finden die die Affen und buchten die lange ein.

    (Translated by Google) What an inestimable splendor opens up to the eye. It's a shame that three showcases are empty due to the robbery. Make sure to book online. (Original) Was für eine unschätzbare Pracht sich dem Auge eröffnet. Schade, dass drei Vitrinen aufgrund des Raubes leer sind. Unbedingt online buchen.

  • 5/5 Enni H. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very impressive. Lots of historical pieces. You don't even know where to look first .... It would not be a recommendation to book the 4pm ticket because the vault closes at 5pm. One hour is definitely not enough ... (Original) Sehr beeindruckend. Viele historische Stücke. Man weiß gar nicht, wo man zuerst hinschauen soll....Empfehlung wäre nicht die 16 Uhr Eintrittskarte zu buchen, weil das Gewölbe genau 17 Uhr geschlossen wird. Eine Stunde ist definitiv zu wenig...

    (Translated by Google) Imposing and very impressive the whole wealth of gold, diamonds, ... Photos are not permitted. You get an audio guide that explains a lot. However, don't stay too long in some places, time is limited and short. (Original) Imposant und sehr beeindruckend der ganze Reichtum an Gold, Diamanten,... Fotos sind nicht gestattet. Man bekommt einen Audio Guide, der einen viel erklärt. Allerdings nicht zu lange an manchen Stellen aufhalten, die Zeit ist begrenzt und knapp.
