The Mathematical-Physical Salon is one of the three large museums in the Zwinger of Dresden. Especially different scientific instruments from past centuries are exhibited.
The natural science museum is located in one wing of the kennel (see picture). It extends over 2 floors. Mainly measuring instruments are shown, but also globes and other things are shown.
The historical measuring instruments can be used to determine lengths, angles or weight, for example. Many instruments in the Mathematical-Physical Salon also originate from astronomy (telescopes, telescopes, models of the sky, etc.). A large number are dedicated to the development of the clock. The large burning glasses used to focus the heat and light of the sun in the museum are also very famous.
