Dresdnen Zwinger
Herkules' gold - 300 years of »L‘Orangerie Royale de Dresden«
September, 2010 to March, 2011
Orange and sour orange trees were a symbol of position and power. They could be compared to gemstone and jewel collection and they showed luck and happiness. More than one thousand of these beautiful plants decorated the Dresden Zwinger in the 18th century; more than four thousand were arranged in the royal Saxon gardens. The »orange fever« of Augustus the Strong is brought back to life by this exhibition, as well as the antique myth of the golden apples in Baroque times.
