10 Art Museums in Austrian Alps That You Shouldn't Miss
The majestic Austrian Alps stretch across the country, an awe-striking area of Ice Age valleys, verdant heaths and alluvial cones within Europe's largest national park, 700-square-mile Hohe Tauern. Taking in the dramatic cities of Salzburg and Innsbruck and the beautiful province of Tirol, home to spectacular skiing and hiking, as well as Gross Glockner, Austria's highest peak, and some of the world's best winter and summer sports playgrounds, the Austrian Alps are an outdoor lover's paradise.

6. Schloss Ambras Innsbruck

4.5 based on 1,157 reviews
Due to the current regulation to contain the pandemic, the museums of the KHM Museum Association will remain closed until 23th March 2021! The wonderful world of the Renaissance The provincial sovereign of Tyrol, Archduke Ferdinand II (1529-95), son of Emperor Ferdinand l, ordered that the mediaeval fortress at Ambras be turned into a Renaissance castle for his wife Philippine Welser. He also commissioned the building of a separately designed museum complex to house his world-famous collections. Constructed according to the most advanced ideas of its time, it is an eminent precursor of our modern-day museums and has been preserved at its original site to this day. The armouries comprise rare examples of 15th century jousting armour from the collections of Emperor Maximilian I, suits of armour of famous 16th century commanders, the Archduke’s private armour, the armour of the court of Innsbruck, and weapons from the Thirty Years’ War.

This castle is one of the most beautiful we have seen on our tour in Austria. From Innsbruck you can get there after about twenty minutes by bus (we took a Hop on / Hop off, very comfortable and included in the Innsbruck Card). The Castle is surrounded by greenery and has a very well kept garden. There are two main buildings to visit, one connected to the entrance (with spectacular weapons and armor) and the actual Castle, to be reached with a short walk. The castle is impressive and was bought by the Archduke Ferdinand II, a true patron of the time. In the current exhibition, the organizers have tried to recreate the different rooms as they had been wanted by the Archduke: the Chamber of Art and Wonders (some even not politically correct by our current standards), the Chamber of Armor and the Antiquarium. In the upper castle there are houses as they were at the time of Ferdinando. The most sumptuous setting in the building is the Sala Spagnola, a 43 meter long banquet hall with frescoed walls and trompe l’oeil. Magnificent. There is also a section dedicated to the Habsburg portraits with over 200 portraits, made by famous artists like Cranach, Tiziano, van Dyck and Diego Velásquez. We went there on a very hot August day and at the end of the tour it was beautiful and very romantic to eat a sandwich sitting on a bench in the shade of the secular trees of the garden.

9. DomQuartier Salzburg

Installation of the DomQuartier in 2014 restored the original architectural unity of the Cathedral and Residenz precinct, also including the Benedictine monastery of St Peter’s and thus creating an internationally unique museum project. Over 400 year ago, the Salzburg prince-archbishops began to transform the town into an Italian-style Baroque gem. They created a masterpiece of urban design, which is today a UNESCO World Heritage site.

At 13 Euro a person this was an excellent bargain, and this includes the audio guide, which I usually pass on but it was pretty good. You essentially get access to what I'd almost consider several separate museums. First, you walk through perhaps a dozen rooms that are staterooms, or official residence rooms of past Salzburg officials. These rooms are amazing. Some have paintings and even flooring that are 500+ years old. Beautiful tapestries and artwork (frescoes, reliefs, wall and ceiling paintings, etc.) in just about every room. Then, you enter several rooms dedicated solely to art, primarily from Dutch masters. There was even a Rembrandt. Following the art rooms, you get to go outside and make your way to the upper floor of the huge cathedral the dominates the center of the old town. This is cool, as you are offered a unique view down into the cathedral. You're also right in front of the massive organ, which is neat. As for the bit where you're outside - you're only outside for a max of 30 seconds, longer if you decide to snap some photos of the old town, which you'll want to do since you are afforded some nice views from higher up. You then enter a handful of rooms containing cathedral treasure, with precious artifacts and jewels. Some of these pieces date back as far as 700CE. You'll be amazed at how priceless some of these pieces must be... Next, you enter a long hallway filled with an eclectic collection of curiosities. This was rather interesting, as there are such random pieces from various eras from all over the world, to include things such as stuffed animals, mummified animals, fossils, gems, weapons, clothing, jewelry, you name it. Then you enter a couple rooms with some artifacts belonging to the church that I can only imagine are even more priceless than some of the previous rooms that are dedicated to cathedral treasure. That pretty much sums up the various parts of the museum. Again, it's like several museums in one. Truly a great value for the price you pay. There's so much to see. Signs are in German and English, and the audio guide of course comes in several languages. I was able to get through the entire museum in a little over two hours, and that included listening to most of the audio guide; it helps I read fast, as well. Otherwise, I'd allow yourself a minimum of three hours. There are a handful of toilets throughout the museum, a gift shop, and a cafe. Fantastic museum - you should definitely check it out when in Salzburg. I visited on Christmas day. Big thanks for the Staff for working on Christmas.
