The only surviving quarter of Baroque burghers' houses in Dresden is to be found in this area, particularly in Rähnitzgasse.

On Dresden's Strasse der Befreiung, once the home of the 19th C. painter Wilhelm von Kügelgen, is the Museum of the Early Romantic Period.

The Dresden Museum of Military History has exhibits detailing German military history to 1945 and the military history of the German Democratic Republic; collection of tin soldiers.

The Provincial Museum in Dresden has some two million volumes.
