About this audio guide
This guide to the Museum for Saxon Folk Art in Dresden starts with the building rather than the collection: the Jägerhof, the Renaissance hunting court the Saxon electors raised on the north bank of the Elbe. It follows the kennels, stables and baiting arena of the sixteen hundreds, and an elector who counted every animal his hunts brought down. Stand facing the three stair towers, near the sandstone hunter and his dog.
