German Museum advice.

Thanks ariel. Yes I will take in Karlsruhe. Dresden is not on a direct flight route so not easy to visit. I can only afford a max 4 night stay on museum trips.

Forget flying and take your car to visit the "Veste Coburg" in Bavaria with an extremely good special exhibition of ethnograhic arms, the Werner Uhlmann Collection with about 200 different arms.

Tim,
Don't listen to us.

Otherwise, your 4 day trip will keep you in Germany forever and you will be counted among the Brexit migrants:-)

I have found Stuttgart will be an excellent base. Train to Heidelberg and a big day out train to Munich. Mention Brexit once more and I will start crying again, only just managed to wipe the last tears away.

Tatyana Dianova make a beautiful report about Grassi Museum in Leipzig; I added some pictures about Formosa. This is the Museum to go!! Check her post!

Tim,
From what I have seen so far, you should take three month off, and when you are at it, you should also visit Wienna, as they have a very big collection 'left over to them' by the Turks.
The town is worth a visit as well, and the people very kind:-).
