The nationally and internationally awarded digital platform presents about 9000 Chinese and Japanese ceramics from the collection of Augustus the Strong (1670–1730) and his son Augustus III (1696–1763).

Together with the inventories from the 18th century, this historical reference collection is now widely accessible to the public, thanks to the support of many generous institutions, in particular the Bei Shan Tang Foundation in Hong Kong and the Ernst von Siemens Art Foundation.
