The Dresden Armory (Rüstkammer) has a world-famous collection of ceremonial weapons, armor and historical textiles. It is also called the "Dresden Historical Museum" (Historisches Museum Dresden), which is part of the State Art Collections (Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden). For a long time, it was located in Zwinger. In February 2013, the meeting returned to the Dresden Castle Residence.

Until the 30s of the XIX century, this collection was not an art collection and served for the representative purposes of the elector. Only in the 1920s, when the Saxon monarchy was liquidated, did the Armory become an art-historical museum.

The Dresden Armory will be interesting to lovers of antiquity and history. You will enjoy visiting this museum, where you can see a unique collection.

What to do and what to see in Naples: TOP-8 ideas from BlogoItaliano. Part I

Naples is a city that is difficult to relate unequivocally. Someone is trying to avoid it, someone can’t imagine life without Naples, but what can’t be taken from the city is a certain charm, which differs noticeably from the settlements of northern Italy. Perhaps the reason for this is the extraordinary harmony of the Gulf and Vesuvius, perhaps the royal past of the city, and perhaps the Neapolitans themselves, who are much simpler than the inhabitants of the northern part of Apenin.
