High Above on Mönchsberg

The Museum of Modern Art stands high on Mönchsberg, offering a spectacular combination of art, architecture, and nature. The striking building with its clear, modern design creates an intriguing contrast to the historic Old Town of Salzburg and is an artwork in itself. However, it is not just the extraordinary architecture that makes a visit worthwhile, but especially the fascinating exhibitions of modern and contemporary art.
