Kupferstichkabinett Dresden

Drawings, prints and photographs are the focus of this museum in Dresden's Residenzschloss. Its roots lie in the Saxon electors' art chamber of around 1560, and it became a museum in its own right in 1720, which it says makes it the oldest museum of graphic arts in the German-speaking world. The holdings run to more than 500,000 sheets, of which only a fraction can be shown at a time. The Josef Hegenbarth Archive is part of the collection.
