About this audio guide
This guide to the Kunsthalle im Lipsiusbau in Dresden starts with the gilded figure on its glass dome and the craftsmen who put her there. It then turns to the Saxon Art Association, a club of art lovers founded in eighteen twenty-eight, and the money that changed hands in this wing. Best heard from the Brühl Terrace, where you can look straight up at the dome.
