Salzburg Museum, Art museum in Salzburg, Austria.
The Salzburg Museum is a regional art and history museum in the heart of Salzburg, housed in the historic Neue Residenz building on Mozartplatz. It displays paintings, objects, and documents from different periods of the city's past across several floors.
The museum was founded in the early 19th century to collect and show art and objects from the region. Over time it moved to the Neue Residenz, where it has been ever since.
The Salzburg Museum sits in the Neue Residenz on Mozartplatz, one of the city's most central squares. Walking through the rooms, you can see how closely the city's identity is tied to its music, its architecture, and its daily life over the centuries.
The museum sits right on Mozartplatz in the middle of the old town, so it is easy to reach on foot from most of the city's main sights. Half a day is usually enough for a relaxed visit through the permanent collection.
The Neue Residenz building also houses the carillon that rings out over Mozartplatz, just above the museum floors. The bells were cast in Antwerp in the 17th century before being brought to Salzburg.
