‎With the extension and conversion of his state treasury, the )Geheime Verwahrung(, in the west wing of the Dresden Royal Palace, Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland created a Schatzkunst museum in 1729 which was unparalleled at that time and which is still unique. The eight display rooms with their exquisite interiors and the highly impressive mise en scène of the collection were designed to inspire amazement in the visitors. The extravagant profusion of precious objects in gold, silver, enamel and precious stones, the ivories, bronzes and jewellery proclaimed the wealth and artistic taste of the Saxon dynasty. After the wartime closure of the museum in 1942, the art treasures are once again presented in an ambiance specially created for them.‎
