Panorama Museum Salzburg, Historical museum in Neue Residenz, Salzburg, Austria.

The Panorama Museum Salzburg occupies part of the Neue Residenz in Salzburg's old town and belongs to the Salzburg Museum. Its centrepiece is a circular panorama about 25 metres long and almost 5 metres high, painted by Johann Michael Sattler with Friedrich Loos for the landscape and Johann Joseph Schindler for the figures, showing the city and surroundings around 1825 as seen from Hohensalzburg Fortress. Around it hang 24 cosmoramas, large paintings of landscapes and cities, many by Sattler's son Hubert.

Johann Michael Sattler painted the circular panorama of Salzburg and its surroundings around 1825, seen from Hohensalzburg Fortress, with Friedrich Loos painting the landscape and Johann Joseph Schindler the figures. Sattler toured it through Europe from 1829 to 1839, showing it in cities from Munich and Vienna to Paris and Copenhagen. From 1875 to 1937 it stood in its own pavilion in the Kurgarten; after storage it was shown again from 1977 on the Mönchsberg, and since 2005 it has hung in the Neue Residenz.

Around the circular panorama hang 24 Kosmoramen, large-format paintings of landscapes and cities. Many were painted by Hubert Sattler, son of Johann Michael Sattler, during travels from the Near East and North Africa to the North Cape and from Canada to Cuba. The panorama itself toured Europe from 1829 to 1839, and Salzburg made its painter an honorary citizen.

The museum is in the Neue Residenz in Salzburg's old town, and the panorama is reached from a central platform inside the round room. The Sattler panorama was to be taken down in May 2023 and stored in a cooled room at the Schwarzenberg barracks until its move to the Salzburg Baroque Museum; the former Orangery is planned as a World Heritage visitor centre opening in 2025.

The painting was groundbreaking for its time because visitors used telescopes from a central platform to view fine details of the city's architecture up close. This innovative presentation method was entirely new in the 19th century and drew thousands of visitors.
