Example: Collections of great art treasures have been preserved in many places around the world.

Places—many Dresden, an East German (1) city, houses some of the

greatest art (2) treasures in the world. From the sixteenth (3) century to the eighteenth century, the Saxon (4) electors collected art from the four (5) corners of the globe and brought them to his (6) location. Though the Saxon (7) reign was short-lived, the treasures have not been; most (8) pieces even survived the Allied (9) bombing during World War II. Today, the public can view delicate Oriental (10) porcelain and sensitive, moving (11) paintings of great (12) artists. The Green Vault holds precious (13) metals and jewels, the work of the best European (14) artisans. One display contains shining diamond boot (15) buckles and jeweled shirt (16) buttons. To estimate the (17) value of these (18) treasures would prove virtually impossible; (19) many are priceless. For example, at one auction, eight Meissen china (20) pieces sold for $313,720.
