About this audio guide
This guide to the Dresden City Museum, housed in the Landhaus, is about the people who worked in it rather than the people who ruled from it. It starts in the autumn of seventeen seventy-five, when Saxony's tax officials and its estates moved into a building designed as a country and tax house drawn by the court architect Friedrich August Krubsacius. It also follows the crew who rebuilt it after the war. Best heard on the pavement in front of the façade, before you go in.
