Museum der Moderne (Modern Art Museum)

You can spend the night in Salzburg or you can reside in Salzburg. For example in the Hotel Stadtkrug. This small oasis directly at the foot of the Kapuzinerberg has become more than an insiders' tip. More and more people with sense of the beautiful things in life book rooms in this hotel. The owners, Hugo and Eva Lucian, as well as their employees really make the guests feel like kings as soon as they set foot in the hotel. Everyone who has ever taken a seat in the beautiful roof garden, which is by the way considered as one of the most beautiful roof gardens by connoisseurs, and takes in the view of the Kapuzinerberg, knows: This is the home of recreation. The Stadtkrug has much to offer, also regarding the cuisine. Inventive, creative and top quality meals, for which only the very best ingredients are used, have gained the restaurant loyal regular customers. They also value the wine list, which offers some good wines. The cultural atmosphere, which emanates from every corner of the house, is the special something which makes the Stadtkrug so unique for many visitors. Intangible, but somehow always present. The town's artists, actors of the Salzburg Festival, art experts or musicians meet here to discuss about art or about everything under the sun while drinking a good glass of wine and enjoying a wonderful meal. This atmosphere casts you under its spell. As the employees of the Hotel Stadtkrug can offer their guests more than only hospitality with much heart, they can also give many tips concerning the town's cultural life.

Hugo and Eva Lucian know where the hot spots are, how the guests can benefit from amenities like the Salzburg-Card and how they can reach the cultural places of interest. One of these places of interest is the Museum der Moderne (modern art museum). It is only a short way from the hotel to the museum. This obligatory visit for each culturally interested person is a real treasure. Divided into two different buildings – the Rupertinum directly in the town centre and the museum on the Mönchsberg (a hill), which was designed with modern architecture, – the modern art museum provides a broad range of contemporary art. Especially photo exhibitions have made the houses known far across the borders of the town. Artists like Helmut Newton, Christoph Schlingensief or Anselm Kiefer have already made exhibitions in the modern art museum.

However, not only the museum's contents are worth a visit. The houses themselves are also unique. While the Rupertinum emanates baroque glory, the building on the Mönchsberg impresses with its innovative and adventurous architecture.
