Four and a half years after the opening of the reconstructed Royal Parade Rooms in Dresden's Royal Palace, their magnificent interior decoration is complete. On Tuesday, the last two precious tapestries were hung in the 1st Antechamber. The "thread-precise" production of the tapestry for the total of six hangings in the room based on the historical model was very time-consuming and the process has now been completed after twelve years, said Holger Krause, project manager for the palace reconstruction at the Saxon Real Estate and Construction Management (SIB). Among other things, old techniques had to be revived.
The baroque rooms, which have been restored to their original state down to the smallest detail, were opened in September 2019. According to the SIB, they are the "crowning glory" of the reconstruction of the building, which was destroyed in 1945, as a museum complex of the State Art Collections. The Free State invested 34.4 million euros in the restoration of the Corner Parade Hall, Audience Chamber and Parade Bedroom including antechambers. The federal government has contributed twelve million euros since 2015.
