We visited the Alex Katz exhibition. It was truly fantastic. The museum is situated at the top of a mountain, but the entrance is in the city, and you can go up with a lift. There's also a café with an outdoors section and the museum shop is really good. I really liked the division of the various rooms, the... More

The museum itself is disappointing. The exhibition was bland and boring. The view outside is quite nice though, too bad it was raining and very cold so we could not enjoy it as much.

We visited the museum as my friend wanted to look at the Chuck Close exhibition which was good. Another exhibition Sammlung Verbund had some nice photography pieces. But my favourite part was the lovely view of the city from the 'sun terrace'. It was nice looking at the snow on the rooftops, I would imagine it'd be ace in summer.... More

I liked this and it had some great attractions, but it is off the beaten path a little and took a while to find. I think it is worth it, but I might eat at the top of the museum and spend an hour here.

Chuck Close and Sammlung Verbund exhibition on when we visited, some ok pieces, nothing to blow us away. The restaurant there looks very nice - great views, and an outside terrace for the warmer months.

I have actually never been inside and seen the museum, but I highly recommend taking the lift to the top and taking in the glorious mountain view of Salzburg. The lift is fairly cheap. However, there are alternate ways via hiking paths/trails to get up to the top if you are an active person or wish to save a few... More

Definately preference this gallery during today's outing.worth the fair entrance fee! So much to do and see . Museum shop and cafe are just as worthwhile as the view and exhibitions.

Unfortunately I was asked to show my ticket when using an internal toilet in the gallery. When first I accidentally showed the wrong ticket the attendant became quiet angry. I then had to get my partner, interrupt his viewing and walk him up two floors back to where the attendant was to prove I had a ticket. on showing my... More

Frist visit the museum. After modern art the restaurant is a must. The view over the beautiful view over the city of Salzburg is fascinating especially if combining with a light meal or ordering a herbal tea: Plain hot water + real fresh herbs (mint etc.) together with slices of ingwer and oranges with a small amount of honey. 15...

The location is spectacular, worth taking the elevator ride from Salzburg City Center. But English speakers, even those interested in modern art, are likely to be disappointed since everything is in German. We happened to be there during a big Merce Cunningham/John Cage exhibit, so we did enjoy ourselves watching done fascinating videos showing how their collaborative dances were invented... More
