In the heart of the city centre, the Residenzschloss Dresden (Dresden Royal Palace) is historically the original centre of the Staatlichen Kunstsammlungen Dresden (Dresden State Art Collections).
Destroyed in the Second World War, the royal palace is currently being rebuilt as a Palace of the Arts and Sciences.
From 1723 to 1730, August the Strong had a number of rooms constructed to represent his wealth and power as the ruling monarch.

When the royal palace is finished, Germany will have gained a museum complex which commemorates past glory on a historical site. Saxon and European history come to life in this historical museum of art.
