The Panorama Museum Salzburg is part of the Salzburg Museum and is located in the New Residence in Salzburg's old town . It houses the panorama picture by the landscape painter Johann Michael Sattler and his employees Friedrich Loos (landscape) and Johann Joseph Schindler (figural staffage).
The panorama painting shows the city of Salzburg and its surroundings around 1825 as seen from the Hohensalzburg Fortress . It is the world's only historical city panorama that has survived to this day. Sattler toured large parts of Europe with this panorama from 1829 to 1839 and exhibited it in Munich, Linz, Vienna, Prague, Dresden, Magdeburg, Hamburg, Leipzig, Berlin, Gothenburg, Copenhagen, Oslo, Amsterdam, Delft, Groningen, Paris, Brussels, Cologne and Frankfurt am Main. He was the first professional tourism advertiser for the city of Salzburg, which made him its first honorary citizen on his return.
The panorama painting was located in its own exhibition pavilion in the spa garden of the city of Salzburg from 1875 to 1937 , was then stored rolled up and only put up again in 1977 in the then newly built casino building on the Mönchsberg . In 2001 the panorama had to be removed due to the demolition of the building. In 2003 it was moved to the New Residence and underwent extensive restoration there for two years. The restoration commissioned by the Salzburg Museum at a cost of around 550,000 euros was financed entirely by donations from Salzburg companies and individuals. On October 6, 2005 , the Panorama Museum was officially opened as part of the Salzburg Museum.
In the Panorama Museum, 24 cosmoramas are exhibited around the 25 meter long and almost 5 meter high circular painting . These large-format paintings with depictions of landscapes and cities were partly painted by Johann Michael Sattler and in large numbers by his son Hubert Sattler , who made numerous painter trips from the Middle to the end of the 19th century from the Middle East to North Africa to the North Cape and from Canada had taken to Cuba .
