*Rejsedagbog* (Travel Diary) is a small-scale sketchbook by Danish artist Johan Thomas Lundbye, created in 1845. The artwork is a handwritten page from Lundbye's personal travel journal, documenting his journey through Europe. This particular entry details his visit to Dresden, Germany, where he saw the *Magdalene Church*, the *Zwinger Palace*, and a collection of Napoleon's original artifacts. The diary reflects Lundbye's keen interest in art, architecture, and history, which informed his own artistic practice. The sketchbook, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a valuable source for understanding the artist's travels and artistic development.
