Transformed Gods - Classical sculptures of the Museo del Prado Audio Tour
DRESDEN, GERMANYMay 20th - September 27th 2009
The sculpture collections of the Museo Nacional del Prado and of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden posses two of the most distinguished antique collections outside of Italy. Due to the fact that Augustus the Strong and the Spanish King Phillip V acquired entire collections of antiquities for their royal residences, both are similar in the diversity of their holdings and incoporate major works of classical sculpture.
The outstanding holdings of both museums permit a broad presentation of ancient key works from the Classic Period of Roman art. "This exhibition is a prime example for the benefits of international museum cooperation. We discover interactions of the collections' histories, publish new research cooperatively and are able to elate the audiences in two locations for exceptional exhibitions. After the great success in Madrid, we are looking forward to a superb art event in Dresden", said Prof. Dr. Martin Roth, Director General of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.

August der Starke gründete mit dem Grünen Gewölbe im Dresdner Residenzschloss die erste fürstliche Schatzkammer Europas, die sich zwischen 1723 und 1729 für Besucher öffnete.

Zwar wurden die Ausstellungsräume im Zweiten Weltkrieg beschädigt und teilweise sogar zerstört, doch nach umfangreichen Restaurierungen und Rekonstruktionen sind sie seit September 2006 wieder zu besichtigen.
