Overview
- The 2025/26 exhibition opens Friday and runs through March 1, 2026 at the landmark shooting location near Dresden.
- For the first time, the baroque dining hall is fully opened as a dance floor where the film’s waltz plays several times an hour and visitors may dance in costume or street clothes.
- Original artifacts headline the show, including Aschenbrödel’s pink ball gown with shoe and nine ball ensembles from the Babelsberg studios, with 14 surviving original costumes on view overall.
- A new donation debuts the queen’s original film eyelashes from the late actress Karin Lesch, including the handmade lashes with their container and glue.
- Interactive touches include try-on shadow robes, a hazelnut wish station, and engraved hazelnut souvenirs on the first two Advent weekends, as the exhibition continues to draw large crowds after 137,000 visitors last season and a 1.5 millionth guest in February.
