Guided Story
Look up at the striking glass dome of the Lipsiusbau. This 'lemon squeezer,' as locals affectionately call it, is a true highlight of Dresden's skyline. Did you know this building was constructed in the late 19th century? Back then, it symbolized the flourishing of the arts in Dresden. Now, turn slightly to the south. You'll see Georg-Treu-Platz, often buzzing with artists and students drawing inspiration from the surroundings. The Lipsiusbau itself has quite a history—it was heavily damaged during World War II and rebuilt in the 1960s. Today, it stands as a testament to the resilience and creative spirit of this city. Let yourself be swept away by the atmosphere as you explore the exhibitions.
