Kunstgewerbemuseum: Exhibitions

Please note that several exhibition rooms of the Museum of Decorative Arts are not accessible until 1 October 2021 due to technical reasons. The exhibition "Nouveautés - Art School and Lace Industry in Plauen" is open without any restrictions.

The idyllic location in Pillnitz draws visitors to the ensemble – conceived as a summer residence – from May to October. In addition to presenting their holdings, the museum also shows special exhibitions in Pillnitz as well as in other locations.
