Like a visit to a cabinet of curiosities, this catalogue presents extraordinary art objects from the collections of Dresden's 14 art museums.
This selection of around a hundred unique and remarkable objects from the 16th to the 21st century highlights
the various links that unite Europe with the rest of the world. Indeed, the unique collections of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden are an excellent demonstration of the role of art in the dialogue between cultures. A strong interest in rare and exotic materials, in everyday or ritual objects from other cultures or even valuable pieces from distant countries, formed the basis of collecting activities throughout Europe. Every prestigious collection - whether of art, nature or science - was born
from the desire to know the world in all its facets and particularities, to demonstrate both the richness and the power of the acquired treasures.
A book of great iconographic variety that makes us dream and admire these collections while following the history of global exchanges.
Under the direction of Claudia Brink, general curator at the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden and general curator of the exhibition.
Exhibition at the Luxembourg Museum from September 14, 2022 to January 15, 2023.
