http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17189
The range, number and quality of objects on display is simply breathtaking. There are objects in ivory, rock crystal and coral. There are ornate, amazing clocks and caskets. It is difficult to pick out one highlight, but I would suggest that the Throne of the Grand Mogul Aurangzeb is the star.

In many other museums you might find one piece like this among some really rather dull stuff. In The Green Vault it is but one of a constellation, even galaxy, of star pieces. It is the best museum/gallery I have ever seen. Be prepared to spend a long time here.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17189 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13447
It has an outstanding range of work from the late Middle Ages up to the end of the 18th century. Highlights include paintings by Van Eyck, Durer, Cranach, Raphael, Titian and Rembrandt.

You can buy a day ticket costing 12 euro for this and all the other galleries and museums in and close to the Zwinger. Very good value considering the range and quality of the collections included in the price. Audio guides in English. Note that the modern art gallery (19/20th centuries) is closed for refurbishment until 2008.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13447 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13414
It shows treasures of the Saxony royal house - in particular, decorative objects and jewellery from about 1650 to 1800.

The design of the museum combines the modern with settings appropriate to the period of the exhibits.

All signs are in German and English.

A visit here would interest both old and young.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13414
