The exhibition provides unprecedented insight into Meissen's artistic development department - its members as well as their unique creations. The department „Künstlerische Entwicklung“, consisting of young artists, shook up a lot with its designs made of Meissen porcelain. It continued the tradition of the manufactory, while at the same time giving it a fresh appearance.
