About this audio guide
This guide to the Erich Kästner Museum in Dresden's Neustadt is about the author of Emil and the Detectives and the Irish architect Ruairí O'Brien, who refused to give him a conventional shrine. It follows the uncle's villa where the boy Kästner spent his visits, a cousin who walked into one of his novels, and a museum you are told to touch. Start outside, by the bronze figure on the wall facing Albertplatz.
