„Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

„The visionary elector: the life and work of Augustus“
Extended exhibition at Augustusburg Castle near Chemnitz
This special exhibition offers 13 themed rooms where, in addition to top-class cultural experiences, you can learn a lot about the life and work of elector Augustus and his wife Anna. Together, the ruling couple revolutionized agricultural self-sufficiency in Saxony and thus created the first "green deal" in Central Europe. A special highlight is the innovative 360-degree projection show especially produced for Augustusburg Castle.

Springtime in Dresden
This is one of Dresden's best kept secrets. A colorful and fragrant exhibition made of 40,000 flowers and plants in the Palais of the Grand Garden in Dresden. The title of the exhibition is “As painted – splendor of flowers with an artist's hand”. Famous paintings were used as an inspiration. Made from native spring flowers and more ornate Floristry, accompanied by light and sound, every painting becomes a sensory scene to discover. The highlight is Claude Monet's water lily garden, where thousands of spring bloomers will form a pond.
