Overview
- SKD opened Wednesday a small show in the Neues Grünes Gewölbe featuring a 900-year-old Ru bowl, a Qing dragon vase and a snuff bottle behind security glass.
- A Europe-wide police task force is still investigating reports that thieves targeted the Ru bowl and the vase.
- SKD says it has hardened cyber, building and procedural defenses since the 2019 Grünes Gewölbe jewel heist, including a police liaison in its leadership.
- To cover higher protection, transport and insurance costs, ticket prices for the Residenzschloss and the Zwinger rose by €2 from Wednesday, with students now paying €2.
- The Ru bowl is one of only 89 known worldwide and the sole example in Germany, with a near twin selling in 2017 for about €31 million.
