A trip to Dresden – the angels!

I’m loving angels instead…
When I was a little girl (read: teenager), my wall was covered in posters. There was literally not a single space of wallpaper to be seen. I won’t go into the content (Boyzone/ Take That/ Peter Andre… ahem…) but I also had a framed poster on my wall. It was the two famous angels painted by Raphael. I have always loved angels and when I heard the original was in Dresden, well… it would be rude not to go and look at it. Especially as it hung above my head for so many years.
Little did I know, the Sistine Madonna was actually a very large painting and the two little angels were only one small part of it. In fact, the bottom part of the painting.

We only had very little time so we rushed into the museum and ran around all the floors. If you are properly into art, then I’m sure you would love it. But we were rushed for time and there was mulled wine to be had! So, if you are fan of the little angels, then pop into this place quickly and see them. If you are a general lover of art, you can easily spend a couple of hours here. Otherwise, I guess (and don’t hate me for saying this please, but…) it’s just an art gallery. Instead of paying a huge price to go inside, I would wander around the outside and see grounds, as they are free and pretty magnificent.
