Dresden Summer Academy
Dresden, 22–29 August 2015

Applications due by 30 April 2015

During this intensive seven-day course the participants explore the city of Dresden, its great monuments, and its museums. The main theme is the study of the collections in a context that considers the princely attitudes of the Saxon rulers during the late Renaissance, the magnificent royal patronage of the arts, and flourishing of courtly display especially in the 18th-century Augustan Age, and the role of the monarchy in 19th-century bourgeois society.

These collections are presented in the beautiful royal palaces in and around Dresden where their meaning and importance can be studied in the original surroundings. With their modern and often highly innovative exhibitions and the diversity of the themes explored in them, the museums and their collections are essential features of the vibrant cultural life and lively discourse that characterise the city of Dresden today.

Scholarships are available and are intended for candidates who are unable to pay the fee personally or whose organisation / institution cannot support them in full.
