An excerpt from the article 12 facts about Zwinger

There is a rich collection of historical porcelain wares (the largest in Europe), both German from Meissen, as well as Chinese, Japanese or Korean. There is a collection of ancient mathematical, physical, astronomical, geodetic, and meteorological instruments, as well as an armory and an orangery, which contains many exotic plant species imported by Augustus II the Strong.

In the Zwinger, the armory (Rüstkammer) houses the insignia of Augustus II the Strong-his private regalia made in 1697 by goldsmith Johann Friedrich Klemm. The complex also contains numerous Polish and Saxon symbols related to Augustus II the Strong.
