About Erich Kästner Museum
The Erich Kästner Museum in Dresden, the poet's birthplace, is housed in the Villa Augustin in the Inner Neustadt district. The building was once the home of the author's uncle and served as a source of inspiration for his early stories. Since opening in 2000, it has presented itself as an innovative, interactive micro-museum. Rather than following a fixed route, you explore Kästner's life and work at your own pace, discovering various modules and drawers marked with pictograms and multimedia elements. This approach to learning through discovery turns your visit into a personal journey of exploration. The compact museum also serves as the model for a traveling exhibition that has already been shown in numerous cities around the world.
