It's a beautiful city bell in a cozy and charming town. Around these fountains and restaurants. Beautiful historic area.

While professionally done, this museum lacks cohesion and flow. Many city museums paint a colorful portrait of the city through a series of chronologically-arranged rooms and exhibits, but the Salzburg one felt a lot more random. There were some exhibits on historical topics, but they generally were not very compelling, in no particular order, and mixed with other completely different exhibits. There were some attempts to add modern audio-visual elements, but these were only in German and didn't seem very interesting or informative. The room on archaic musical instruments was the only one that I would call fascinating, though probably of limited interest to anybody who isn't a devotee of classical music. The current exhibit in the basement on toys was not interesting to me at all. I almost missed the fact there is an additional portion of the museum across the breezeway, downstairs. Here finally was a chronology of the city, plus the famous 360° painting of the city, which is a must-see—definitely pay the extra Euro for this.

Pretty sure I either missed a lot in this museum or large segments of it were not open to the public at the time of my visit. Regardless, it's poorly organized and the staff are both intrusive and unhelpful. I'm looking at many pictures here and I can't remember how I could possibly miss those rooms, oh well.. I did enjoy the musical instruments section so it wasn't a complete waste of time

I would highly recommend this to anyone who is visiting Salzburg! It was a modern museum with a touch of something for everyone, from the paintings of the city to special exhibits on coffee to the children's area! If you're here, GO!!
