Modern Art and More in Salzburg

The Museum der Moderne Salzburg (MdM) is a top destination for art lovers as well as devotees of Austrian cuisine. The MdM is, in fact, two museums: the MdM Mönchsberg and the MdM Rupertinum. Perched atop an exposed ridge, the MdM Mönchsberg offers spectacular views of the old Baroque city of Salzburg. Devoted to contemporary art, this institution still gives a nod to Salzburg’s most famous son, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: A close look at the façade reveals vertical slits depicting an aria from "Don Giovanni."

M32, the museum's restaurant, boasts both unrivaled views and superb dining, all in a marriage of modern elegance and traditional Salzburg style. After your meal, a walkway connects you to the sister museum, MdM Rupertinum. Established by the archbishops as a city palace, the MdM Rupertinum lies in the city center, conveniently next to the Festspielhaus and the cathedral.
