The two major cultural centers of Saxony are [[Dresden]] and [[Leipzig]]. The two cities have each a unique character which is reflecting the role they played throughout Saxon and German history, Dresden being a political center while Leipzig has been a major trading city. Thus, Dresden is well known for the art collections of the former Saxon kings ([[Dresden State Art Collections]] with the [[Green Vault]] and [[Zwinger (Dresden)|Zwinger]] as the most well-known parts).

Leipzig on the other hand never had a royal court, so its culture is borne largely by its citizens. The city is famous for its relationship with classical music and names like [[Johann Sebastian Bach]], [[Mendelssohn]] or [[Wagner]] are linked to it. Over the past decades the city became famous for its modern art scene, most notably the Neue Leipziger Schule ([[New Leipzig School]]) with artists such as [[Neo Rauch]].
