Dommuseum Salzburg

Dommuseum Salzburg, Diocesan museum in Salzburg, Austria

The Dommuseum Salzburg occupies the south oratory of Salzburg Cathedral and serves as the diocesan museum. Its permanent exhibition presents art from the 8th to the 18th century from the Archdiocese of Salzburg, including liturgical vessels from the cathedral treasury and Gothic and Baroque paintings and sculptures by Meinrad Guggenbichler, Georg Raphael Donner, Johann Michael Rottmayr and Paul Troger.

Canon Josef Lahnsteiner began collecting for a reconstructed cathedral museum before World War I, and parts of the collection were shown in 1954 at the consecration of the rebuilt cathedral. The decision to found a public museum was taken in 1972, and it opened in 1974. Since 2014 it has formed part of the DomQuartier Salzburg.

The museum's name refers to the cathedral itself, since it occupies the south oratory of Salzburg Cathedral and also serves as the diocesan museum. The Kunst- und Wunderkammer, recreated in 1974, preserves original 17th-century display cases arranged in eight groups, from rosaries and minerals to ivory, ibex-horn and rock-crystal works.

The museum is part of the larger DomQuartier complex, allowing visitors to access multiple exhibitions with a single pass. Wear comfortable shoes as you will move between connected spaces in the historic building and adjacent areas.

The Kunst- und Wunderkammer in the south dome arch was assembled in the second half of the 17th century under archbishops Max Gandolf von Kuenburg and Guidobald von Thun. It once held over 130 rock-crystal vessels from the prince-archiepiscopal grinding workshop, a stock surpassed in Europe only by Louis XIV and the Duke of Savoy. Much of it went to the Palazzo Pitti in Florence; the chamber was reconstructed in 1974.
