The Grüne Gewölbe or "Green Vault" contains the crown jewels and other treasures collected by the Saxon royal family over the centuries. Most pieces date back to August the Strong's time. Visitors can admire the breathtaking crown jewels, as well as hundreds of magnificent items that once belonged to the royal household including clocks, mirrors, candlesticks and silver services. Perhaps the most impressive piece is the carving of the "Hofstaat Zu Delhi am Geburtstag des Großmoguls Aurangzeb" which features hundreds of faces intricately carved in minuscule cherry stones.

Housed within the Jägerhof, the 400 hundred year old, Innere Neustadt building, the Museum of Saxon Folk Art and Puppet Theatre, also called, Museum für Volkskunst, boasts of one of the biggest puppettheater and folk art collections in the world. The museum chronicles the development of folk art in Saxony. Some items displayed are over 200 years old, used in historic fairs and events, highlighting the glorious history of Germany. There are also more recent, 19th-century artifacts that testify technological advances in traditional puppettheater. With more than 27,000 objects on display, Museum für Sächsische Volkskunst mit Puppentheatersammlung makes for an extremely interesting and insightful visit.

No sooner do you step onto the forecourt of Militärhistorisches Museum der Bundeswehr which is filled with planes, tanks and military vehicles, than you are transported into the world of the German military. Exhibits such as uniforms, medals, guns and ammunition show how the military has developed over the ages, and the museum contains a large number of interesting exhibits.
