Venue

For the fourth time, the city of Salzburg hosted a state exhibition. After renovation and renovation work, the state exhibition was returned to the New Residence on Mozartplatz in 2016 . The venue had already been temporarily used in 1987 with the exhibition about Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau . The New Residence has been the main building of the Salzburg Museum since 2007, which on the occasion of the State Exhibition in 2016 showed the changeful history of the federal state of Salzburg on an exhibition area of ​​1500 m². The exhibition budget was 1.5 million euros and the number of visitors was just over 77,000.

Content and structure of the exhibition

The exhibition Bishop. Emperor. Everyone was represented in three different subject areas. It was divided into the parts Treasury Salzburg, Tell me Salzburg! and Am Schauplatz , which were thematically self-contained. The programmatic titles of the projects follow the idea of conveying history in a location-related manner ( Am Schauplatz ), object-related ( Treasury Salzburg ) and as a sequence of stories ( Tell me Salzburg! ). Exhibits that were once in Salzburg's possession were presented as well as exhibits from the large collection of the Salzburg Museum.

Treasury Salzburg

In this section of the Salzburg State Exhibition, various art objects and treasures from Salzburg's history were on display. The inventory of the archbishops' treasury included many different items, such as ivory carvings, objects made of rock crystal, gold work or paintings that were used for representation at court. Most of these objects were on loan from various museums, as a large part of Salzburg's art treasures were transported, dragged away, removed or relocated between 1800 and 1816.

At the scene

"Am Schauplatz" was part of the Salzburg State Exhibition, in which photographs and video installations from selected locations that have a historical reference to Salzburg in the period from 1797 to 1816 were shown. Since there is hardly any visual evidence of this time, contemporary photo artists have taken photos for the exhibition at eight historical locations, such as Mirabell Palace , Pass Lueg or the old residence .

“The year 1797 is at the beginning, because in that year the peace of Campo Formio between France and Austria was concluded. With this peace agreement, not only was the first coalition war ended, but also the beginning of the end of an independent archbishopric of Salzburg. The final point is the year 1816 - the year in which Salzburg finally came to Austria. "
