Hunting Lodge Graupa
As soon as you enter the hunting lodge, musical sequences from Richard Wagner's operas greet you – an atmospheric welcome that sets the mood for the character of the museum.
Permanent Exhibition in the Hunting Lodge Graupa
The color design of the museum in blue and purple tones is also atmospheric, which refers to the fact that Wagner was a highly emotional, lively man of the theater. In terms of content, the focus of the presentation is on the years in Saxony up to 1849 – Wagner's childhood, youth and school days, as well as his years as a conductor in Dresden. Later stages of life and the impact of his work up to the present day are also depicted.
