Next week I am flying to Germany for two weeks, mainly as a holiday and to visit friends. I chose this time because they will be on holiday and it turns out, everyone else is on holiday too! I was hoping to see some concerts, maybe a couple of operas, but there doesn't seem to be much on towards the end of July and beginning of August. But never mind, there are a host of excellent museums that I normally wouldn't even get to that now I will. I will be based in Dresden with side trips to Leipzig, Prague and possibly Berlin.
Here is a list of the major museums in Dresden:

My friends say that the Panometer is particularly interesting and unusual:

And, of course, food and wine will also be important themes. This is a particularly good time for North Americans to visit Europe as the Euro is down about 15% this year vis-a-vis the US dollar, so not as expensive as usual. Here is Dresden's main church, the Frauenkirche:
