DomQuartier Salzburg, History museum in Salzburg, Austria

DomQuartier Salzburg connects the prince-archbishops' Residenz palace, the Cathedral, and St. Peter's Abbey through interconnected buildings displaying art and historical exhibits. The three structures form a unified complex linked by passages with artworks spanning multiple centuries.

The museum complex opened on 17 May 2014, after construction began in 2006 at a cost of about 8.5 million euros, funded mainly by the city and province of Salzburg with contributions from St. Peter's Abbey, the University of Salzburg and the cathedral church fund. It absorbed the collections of the Salzburg Baroque Museum, closed in 2012, and showed St. Peter's exhibits publicly for the first time. In April 2016 it became a GmbH owned in thirds by the province, the cathedral fund and the abbey.

The Residenz Gallery displays European paintings from the 16th to 19th centuries by Dutch, Italian, French, and Austrian artists. You can observe how the prince-archbishops built their art collections and what styles they favored.

You can visit Wednesday through Monday, with entry permitted until about one hour before closing time. Wearing comfortable shoes is helpful since the connected buildings cover a lot of ground to explore.

The name is written with a capital Q inside the word, and strictly speaking a thin space separates "Dom" and "Quartier"; the media adopted this spelling from the start. The complex was begun in 2006 at a cost of about 8.5 million euros, roughly 800,000 of which went to security equipment. It opened on 17 May 2014 and welcomed its 100,000th visitor in mid-November of the same year.
