Police have said most of the jewels stolen from the museum, which houses one of Europe’s greatest art collections, have been recovered. Sean Gallup/Getty Images“There are certain things that perhaps absolute experts can see; we with the naked eye can actually barely see the damage,” said Marion Ackermann, Dresden State Museums director general. Dresden Castle houses the Gruenes Gewoelbe (Green Vault) collection of treasures. The treasures survived Allied bombing raids in World War II, only to be carted off as war booty by the Soviet Union. They were returned to Dresden, the historic capital of the state of Saxony, in 1958.
