"▲ Wrap-around painting offering vivid peek of the city as it appeared in 1829 (closed through 2025 for renovation and move to Mirabell Gardens orangery)." - Rick Steves' Europe
Small but beautiful local history museum that showcases alongside the brilliant panorama several smaller pictures of Salzburg in the 19th and early 20th century with a great storyline explaining in detail what is on display. It's good for a solid half hour and enjoyable even more because it's not crowded, at the time of my visit I was all alone

Free with Salzburg pass, it is worth a quick look if you have the time. The main feature is the actual panorama which does have a lot of details. Was interesting to compare with the view from the castle to see what had changed. The paintings displayed were interesting because of the differences in style as much as what they displayed.

Beautiful museum that discusses the history of bathing and swimming pools in Europe, but the coolest exhibit is that of Hubert Sattler, who created Cosmoramas around the world and also painted a Panorama of Salzburg which is truly a must-see! It is covered by the Salzburg Card, which is another plus!

A short visit that I only decided to do because of the heat outside turned out very well. Entrance for jugend was 2euros and for this you get some nice background information on how Salzburg looked through the years. After that you're treated to a stunning panorama painting of the whole city seen from the fortress hohensalzburg. I very much giving this place a short look especially if you happen to have the Salzburg card or are a student.

We found it very interesting. In particular, the photos by Sattler were amazing. He really painted so many diverse locations. The colors and light were very expressive.

It's just out of this world! One of the most memorable experiences when visiting Salzburg. Hubert Sattler and his family and travels, what a fascinating personality, the paintings left me breathless.

If you like Panorama painting this is a wonderful place to visit. In the middle there is a 360 degree view of old Salzburg in great detail.

Not really a must see when visiting Salzburg. It's a small place with a 360° painting of Salzburg around the year 1900. But don't expect it to be much more. If I wouldn't have had the Salzburg card which grants you free entry to the museum, I would have skipped it. But if you do have the Salzburg card it's definitly an option and you're probably outside again after 10 to 15 minutes.
