About this audio guide
This guide to the Dresden Transport Museum looks past the engines to the building around them, the Johanneum, raised in the fifteen-eighties for the Saxon court. You'll meet a Prince Elector, a stable of Italian riding horses and one stallion famous for its mane, then a little shunting engine from eighteen sixty-one and a sedan chair from seventeen-oh-five. Best heard in the railway hall, beside the Muldenthal.
