Silent Night Museums: Franz Xaver Gruber and Joseph Mohr changed the world with just one song. Several museums in SalzburgerLand document the different stages of their lives, impressively transporting you back more than 200 years in time.

Celtic Museum, Hallein: The Celts mined salt on the Dürrnberg plateau in the first millennium B.C. and excavations have shown that it brought great prosperity. The Celtic Museum in Hallein has some of the greatest treasures of the Celtic period in all of Europe on display. The City of Hallein Museum and the Silent Night Museum are also next door.
Open-Air Museum, Grossgmain: A very beautiful “museum” that stretches 500,000 m².

Art & culture in the city of Salzburg
If you want to discover the city of Salzburg’s rich heritage, then go to DomQuartier, the cathedral district. The newly designed tour will take you through the ceremonial rooms in the residence and parts of the cathedral. The museum opened in 2014 and has more than 2,000 exhibits that provide a deep insight into the centuries-old history of the archbishops of Salzburg. But if you’d prefer to see something more contemporary, then simply visit the Museum of Modern Art on Mönchsberg or stroll through town and stop by the Salzburg Museum, the Rupertinum or one of the smaller galleries.
