Briefly noted.(Staatliche Kunstsammlungen exhibition )(Brief article)
Over the last few years many improvements have been made to the museums of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen in Dresden. Most recently, the restored Historic Green Vault (Grunes Gewolbe) in the Royal Palace (Residenz Schloss) was opened. Built in the sixteenth century to house the art collections of the Saxon electors, the treasure chamber was refashioned and expanded between 1723 and 1730 for the collection of Augustus the Strong. The name comes from the malachite green color with which some sections were painted. The Green Vault now contains about three thousand treasures in its ten chambers, and the installation adheres as closely as possible to Augustus's inventory lists and designs of 1733.
