It examines the origins and distinctive features of these cultures and also considers the current situation of the indigenous peoples of Amazonia. The exhibits are all taken from Saxon collections, the oldest items dating from the 19th century. As well as objects from tribal cultures which have long been extinct, there are also exhibits from tribes which were only contacted for the first time a few years ago. • Kasper – eine deutsche Karriere (Kasper – A German Career) Exhibition by the Puppentheatersammlung Museum für Sächsische Volkskunst View of the exhibition “Crossing the seas with Fortuna” Jägerhof, Köpckestraße 1 16th May, 2009 – 31st January, <strong>2010</strong> In puppet theatre, there have always been heroes and comic figures. For over 200 years this figure has in Germany been called ‘Kasper’. Over time, he was transformed from an anarchist, ruffian, coward and slacker into a useful member of society. During the Nazi period, he was turned into a German hero. In the GDR, he did not fit in. His place on the stage was taken up by Young Pioneers until Kasper’s plebeian roots were discovered. In the 1980s, he was able to reclaim his political dimension in puppet plays for adults. • Von Mali bis Borneo. Neuerwerbungen der Jahre 2006 bis 2008 (From Mali to Borneo. New Acquisitions 2006 – 2008) Cabinet exhibition by the Museum für Völkerkunde <strong>Dresden</strong>, <strong>Staatliche</strong> Ethnographische Sammlungen Sachsen Japanisches Palais, Palaisplatz 11 11th July – 31st December, 2009 In the years 2006 to 2008, the <strong>Dresden</strong> Völkerkundemuseum was able to purchase a total of 507 objects. The annual budget for acquisitions is not sufficient to fill existing gaps in the collection through purchases of highquality objects. Donations and gifts from the friends and sponsors of the museum are therefore very gladly received. He influenced saxon-Danish relations: “Elector august of saxony”, Lucas Cranach the Younger Punch, c. 1946/49 (costume replaced), Museum für sächsische Volkskunst • »Mit Fortuna übers Meer«. Sachsen und Dänemark – Ehen und Allianzen im Spiegel der Kunst (1548 – 1709) (Crossing the Seas with Fortuna. Saxony and Denmark – Marriages and Alliances Mirrored in Art [1548 – 1709]) Exhibition by the Grünes Gewölbe Residenzschloss, 2nd floor 24th August, 2009 – 4th January, <strong>2010</strong> For two centuries the Electorate of Saxony cultivated very close relations with the mighty kingdom of Denmark. Through the marriage of Duke August, the later Elector of Saxony, to the Danish Princess Anna in 1548, a strong political alliance was formed between <strong>Dresden</strong> and Copenhagen. A further three lavishly celebrated weddings took place during the course of the 17th century. The final climax in this alliance policy was the fourweek state visit by the Danish King Frederik IV to the court of August the Strong in 1709. Three hundred years after the impressive celebrations that took place during the meeting of these two rulers, the <strong>Staatliche</strong> <strong>Kunstsammlungen</strong> <strong>Dresden</strong> and the Royal Collections of Rosenborg Castle in Copenhagen held a largescale joint exhibition in which the role of the fine arts for highlevel politics was vividly illustrated. 33
