DRESDEN.-Even now, a queue of visitors hoping to obtain some of the highly sought-after admission tickets to the Historisches Grünes Gewölbe (Historic Green Vault) still forms every morning on the days when the museum is open. For only those people are admitted who have a ticket stating the date and time of their visit. Those who do not wish to queue have usually secured their ticket well in advance. Around 60% of the tickets are sold in this way, with the remaining 40% being available at the ticket office for same-day visits. Up to the end of this year all the advanced-sale tickets are sold out. Advance tickets are available from January 2008, but there are already bookings for every month of the coming year. Tickets for the months of January, March, April and May are especially in demand. Since its reopening, 320,000 visitors have experienced the Historisches Grünes Gewölbe. Tickets were sold out every day. A year after its reopening, interest in Europe’s most splendid baroque treasury has not waned in the least.
