About this audio guide
This guide to the Leonhardi Museum in Dresden's Loschwitz district follows the painter Eduard Leonhardi, an ink fortune, and the old Hentschel Mill he bought in eighteen seventy-nine with a generous plan for young and poor artists. It turns to the painter Charles Palmié, whose sayings and ornaments still cover the house, and to a group of artists in communist East Germany who claimed the skylit hall in the nineteen-sixties. Stand in the lane facing the half-timbered facade and look for the Red Blackbird on the lantern.
