Dresden’s Archiv der Avantgarden Named 'Museum of the Year' by Critics

The museum, housing a vast avant-garde collection, earns praise for its innovative approach and bold establishment in challenging financial times.

The Archiv der Avantgarden (ADA) in Dresden has been awarded 'Museum of the Year 2024' by the German art critics association AICA.
The museum, opened in May 2024, is part of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden and features over one million objects donated by Egidio Marzona in 2016.
AICA commended the state of Saxony for creating and funding a new cultural institution during a period of financial strain and reduced cultural budgets.
Housed in a modernized Baroque building, ADA is celebrated for its transparent and evolving methods, fostering engagement and redefining avant-garde concepts.
The collection includes significant works and documents from 20th-century artists like Picasso, Warhol, and Klee, serving as a vital resource for research and public exploration.
