Museum der Moderne

An incredibly cool and modern museum with so much to see that we couldn’t fit it all into our visit. The view from the top is absolutely stunning! The MönchsbergAufzug Lift, which is included in the Salzburg Card, is a fantastic option. Unfortunately, we only discovered it after walking up, but the walk was quick and easy. The only downside is the lockers requiring coins – a more modern solution would be great

Interesting self-guided tour of Mozart’s birthplace. Lovely photos and paintings of his family, and fascinating insight into his life. It does get a bit crowded with in certain rooms. Pictured here is Mozart’s first violin (age 6!).

What a find! You wouldn't know it was there from the outside, take the lift up to the top, and admire the incredible view over Salzburg. We sat in the restaurant for a couple of hours just taking in the vista. A choice of menus,anything from coffee and a pastry to a full meal and an alcoholic drink. The staff are so lovely and speak various languages. Definitely recommend and the art works were pretty good too.

The problem is that this museum doesn’t seem to have a permanent exhibition - it relies on these temporary exhibits. And if they’re not good, then everything is not good. It was absolutely terrible as of this review. Not worth a single dollar. The view is nice, but you don’t have to go away up there for a view. The building itself is quite nice and very accessible.

Brutalist architecture was very much a part of the view from my hotel window, so I had to go up and see what it was all about. I found little that resonated to me. The building itself should have more potential of taking in light. The rooms were as bunker like as the exterior. But people should judge for themselves.

Went there at night after closing hours and the view of the city is amazing from the top. It has a restaurant as well which was open at 8pm. Slightly weird narrow winding drive up and was confusing to drive at night.

This is the top of the cliff part of the fantastic unmissable modern art gallery in Salzburg. It's split into 2 parts - one in the city centre and one newer and larger part perched on top of a cliff with magnificent views over the city. The clifftop part is accessed by a pedestrian lift. The entrance cost and the lift cost is included in the Salzburg card. The photos show both items from the permanent collection as well as from the special exhibitions on in December 2019

We walked the ridge trail from the Festung Hohensalzburg to the modern art museum and the views are except - from the river and city to the Alps. Try to arrive at the Art Museum overlook at 12:00 for the ringing of the church bells.

My review is for the lift only. We used our Salzburg card and went for the wonderful view at the top. At the top, exit to the left for a free bathroom.

Free with Salzburg card to enter the museum and take the elevator. We didn't look at any of the museum items and just went straight to the elevator because we knew there's a gorgeous view at the top terrace. Out of all the views in Salzburg, this one was by far the best. It keeps getting better and better. The first one was right outside the elevator. Then continue up the stairs and you come across this huge fortress wall. Walk all the way to the back and you'll see a huge grass area. Get close to the edge and you'll get a close up of the Hohensalzburg fortress then look below and you'll see Dom quarter and to the left you'll see the bridge that takes you over to Hotel Sacher and the magnolia trees blooming at the market plaza. Great place to relax and lots of locals walking their dogs. Also saw a food truck.

The best part of the museum was the view. It is sheer minimalist space where all the work could've fit on half a floor. Most of the work was not inspiring and idiosyncratic. Considering the immense size, the curators should choose more diverse work Or simply more.More than half the exhibitions were in dark rooms. Even the staff were like zombies.

Admission is included in the Salzburg card, I really didn't quite get the concept of this museum but I certainly enjoyed the view from the top! Upon arrival at the museum, you take an elevator. Also access to the restaurant side and Winkler terrace, (on the top of the Mönchsberg Cliffs, is near the short wall where the kids stood up as they sang at the movie.). The view of Salzburg from there is amazingly beautiful. While museum itself is for those who appreciate modern arts, this view from the terrace is a must for all especially those who loves the sound of the music.

This beautiful museum on the hill is visible from near and far. It is worth the trip up. As we begin to wander, we notice the outdoor terrace with its view of the city. Of course we have to see and take a few pics. What isn't obvious, are the trails. As we are here to explore, it was time for another adventure. We proceed down a trail hoping to see the top of a stone tower pressed against the mountain. We have been speculating what it could be... water, pulley system, etc. A short way later we see the walled structure. It looks to be a ancient structure now used as a cafe and B&B. The view is spectacular. After our hike, it is back to the museum. This exhibition is based on female artists. A couple of names were familiar other not. In the end, we enjoyed the works as we wandered from room to room. This museum and surrounding area are worth the trip up the hill and are included in the Salzburg pass. Enjoy!

This museum is really cool in the way that the main entrance is through the elevator that is inside of a cliff that starts on the bottom of the town and brings you to this museum on top of the monchberg! I used to live near here when I studied abroad and I passed by this place pretty often. Everything is super futuristic and modern here and even the restroom is kind of cool to look at!

The Museum of Modern Art is situated on the edge of a sheer mountain top drop off and visible from almost all of Salzburg. It is a modern concrete structure right next to a very small medieval looking castle. They hold many events there, some with live classical music in a courtyard. They have a restaurant which we did not visit. The views from outside are spectacular and was what initially drew us in... We got great photos from the many vantage points at the top of the mountain... We entered the museum at no cost because of the "Salzburg Card" we previously purchased which includes all museum entry fees beyond the free public transportation which is also included. The art was moving and inspiring. There are several floors, all reachable by stairs or elevator. We ended up walking down a hiking trail to another mountain top vantage point which turned out to have an ancient castle wall with a built in hostel.

First off you take a very austere elevator up three floors to the museum entrance. Free lockers for your bags, jackets etc. Museum building fantastic. Current collection good. But the real nice part begins with the terrace view of the city, wonderful forest hikes behind the building- make your way to the left, through the fortress arch and make your way to the Hohensalzburg Fortress. Great walk!

I decided to check out both the MdM museums in Salzburg, as they're covered in the ever handy "Salzburg Card." My expectations were pretty low; "modern museums" in small(ish) towns are often pretty disappointing. But I have to say, I was blown away by the level of sophistication at the Moenchsberg location. Both the selection and presentation were excellent. (On the other hand, I'd probably have to give a "pass" to the Rupertinum location, at least with current exhibition.)

Unfortunately we went here after dark, so missing the spectacular views. The museum perches on the cliff tops overlooking salzburg, and is accessible by a lift (you could also get the cable car to the castle, then walk along.) The lift closes after a certain time so you can get stuck. There is a very trendy bar/restaurant which was a little too pricey for us. The art is all superb, much better than the intellectually void stuff we get produced in London. At the time i went there was a vast exhibition by a bloke who'd simply filled canvas after canvas with tiny numbers. Quite mental. Vast abstract canvases in what can only be described as a well educated Bond villain's lair. Also very impressive Muslim video installations, male and female videos facing each other across a vast space, a woman getting chased through the streets and scenes inside a unisex baths. Get a Salzburg card and see it for nowt. (one trip only)
