One of the finest historical collections of classical sculpture will be seen for the first time outside Germany at the Museo del Prado. This is the collection of the Albertinum in Dresden, acquired in the 18th century by Augustus the Strong, King of Poland and Saxony. Through a unique agreement between the two institutions, it will be displayed in Madrid while the Albertinum is temporarily closed.
