★★★★★a year agoAdmition is included in the ticket for Galery of Old Masters, so if you still have time and energy left I highly recommend to visit this gem. A lot of Japanese and Chinese porcelain made more 300 years ago and some examples do not exist or hard to find anywhere else. An extensive collection of Messen porcelain from the very beginning of the manufacture is here also. A lot of beautiful and breathtaking pieces. I didn't even expect it to be so wonderful. Definitely worth a visit.

★★★★★3 years ago🔈If you are a fun of sculpting or a fun of vases or of porcelain in general then this is your next getaway trip ! ‼️Mesmerizing sculptures and vases from all over the world and going back in time even at 1730!!! 🔝By far an exceptional collection. I loved the details on every single thing ! I wanted to take a picture of a every single one piece in there !! Would totally visit again for a second look . ✔️Amazing experience and totally worth the ticket ! A pro tip for the ticket : 👉🏻 Make sure you buy a combinational ticket if all museums in zwinger ! It’s only 14€ and 10.5€ if you’re a student of any country !!
