Museums in Salzburg

Come, look, marvel!

Museums above the roofs of the old town: Museum of Modernity and Fortress Museum. The Museum der Moderne Mönchsberg will catch your eye during your first walk through the old town. Of all the museums in Salzburg, it probably has the most spectacular location.

The museum is enthroned on the Mönchsberg opposite the unique Hohensalzburg Fortress – the best-preserved castle in Europe. Works by Max Beckmann, Picasso or Seurat have already been presented here under the motto “Summit of Modernism”. The 3,000 square meters of exhibition space at the Museum der Moderne also include the baroque city palace Rupertinum. Where once priests were trained, today there is modern art to admire.

Museum at Hohensalzburg Fortress

The fortress museum has an equally prominent position

The Fortress Museum has an equally prominent position: in the historic rooms of the Hohensalzburg Fortress, evidence of the fortress’s history is presented here: Coins, weapons, ceramics and even the completely furnished castle kitchen can be seen in the Fortress Museum.

The house of nature
