Research at the museum combines collection-related questions with a larger scientific discourse. Research at the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden uses a variety of scientific methods and approaches and works in an interdisciplinary manner, above all through cooperation with universities, research institutes and museums in Germany and abroad.
The Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (Dresden State Art Collections) have been ranking for years among the group of museums, in which research is intensively conducted and for which international scientific exchange is eminent. The great variety of diverse research projects, which are embedded in the museum's structure or in which employees of the museum are involved in, reflect the diversity and profoundness of our scientific activities.
Stöbern, entdecken und kombinieren - nicht nur Detektive verfolgen ihre heiße Spur, auch Kunsthistoriker tun dies zuweilen.
Sammeln, Bewahren, Erforschen, Vermitteln.
Im Fokus meiner Forschungen steht die Entwicklung der Vermessungs- und Kartierungsmethoden sowie die Instrumentenbaukunst vom 16. bis zum 19. Jahrhundert
In 2017 the Dresden State Art Collections (SKD) in Germany presented an exhibition on the thought of the mystical philosopher Jacob Boehme. From 25 August - 19 November 2017 around 30,000 people visited the exhibition, and many more learned about Boehme's philosophy through the very positive response of the media to the exhibition. As part of its ongoing engagement with Boehme, the SKD is planning a series of further exhibitions to take place in 2019 - 2020 in locations outside Germany. These exhibitions will highlight in particular the reception and transformation of Boehme's thought transnationally. A scholary conference will accompany or precede each of these exhibitions.
The research programs Europe/World and Research Travels at the Depot, both designed for several years of duration, foster a broadened and discursive perspective on the SKD’s collections, which include the bounteous stocks of the Ethnographical Collections of Saxony (SES), through their diverse sub-projects and exhibitions. In cooperation with international partners questions that are relevant to the scientific discourse as well as society in general are developed and integrated into the academic and curatorial work at the SKD. Additionally, the organization of conferences and workshops hosted with us is intended to further intensify worldwide exchange.
