This is the catalogue of the international exhibition "Electors of Saxony - Grand Dukes of Lithuania: court culture and art under Augustus II and Augustus III". The exhibition presents 150 unique and diverse objects from eight museums of the Dresden State Art Collections as well as the private collection of Prince Alexander Prinz von Sachsen, Herzog von Sachsen, Markgraf von Meissen, Prinz von Gessaphe. They reveal the historical, political, cultural and artistic links between Lithuania and Saxony, spanning almost a thousand years. Perhaps for the first time in the history of Lithuanian museology, the world-famous Dresden museum complex has presented such a large and valuable exhibition of old heritage with such a strong Lithuanian context. Some of the treasures featured in the Vilnius exhibition catalogue have not yet left Germany or their place of storage.
All the catalogue texts (articles and descriptions of the exhibits) are published in three languages: Lithuanian, German and English.
