The Salzburg Baroque Museum was an art museum specializing in baroque art in the right old town of Salzburg . From 1973 it was housed in the south wing of the orangery on Mirabellplatz, included in the ensemble of Mirabell Gardens and Mirabell Palace . After its closure in September 2012, the Baroque Museum was incorporated into the Salzburg Museum ; its director Regina Kaltenbrunner became head of department there. The collections were put into storage. With the founding of the DomQuartier Salzburg in May 2014, the collection was again given an exhibition space in the north oratory of Salzburg Cathedral .

history

It was the only museum in Europe and the largest internationally that focused exclusively on design . The collection of the Baroque Museum goes back to the Austrian art dealer Kurt Rossacher (1918–1988). It consists of oil paintings , clay and wood models and a collection of graphics . There are almost 350 objects in total. In 1970 they became public property as a foundation. The artists collected include Germans, Italians, French, Dutch and Austrians. They are Paul Troger , Franz Anton Maulbertsch , Martin Johann Schmidt , Matthäus Günther , Giovanni Battista Tiepolo , Peter Paul Rubens , Luca Giordano , Gian Lorenzo Bernini , Ignaz Günther , Michael Zürn the Younger and Alessandro Algardi . In 2010 it was awarded the Austrian Museum Seal of Approval.

"Music in the Museum"

A series of concerts for contemporary chamber music was organized in the museum, which was broadcast by the Ö1 cultural and educational program of the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation .

After the museum closes

The exhibitions promised in 2014 in the north oratorio of the cathedral take place only sporadically:

  • Prima Idea, a selection from the Rossacher Collection, May 17, 2014 to April 6, 2015
  • Second exhibition (after a two-year break): Troger, Rottmayr, Kremser Schmidt. Picture stories for Salzburg , February 24 to November 6, 2017
  • From Bernini to Rubens. Roman Baroque from the Rossacher Collection, June 23, 2019 to April 6, 2020

In between, the rooms of the North Oratorio are used as an extension of the Residenzgalerie or the Museum St. Peter for other exhibitions, for example in 2015/16 for Gothic book illumination and in 2016 for part of the exhibition of the Liechtenstein Collection. The masterpieces of the former baroque museum remain in the depot.
