Baroque Museum (Salzburger Barockmuseum)

Set in the lovely Orangery of Mirabell Palace, Salzburg’s Baroque Museum hosts an unusual and rare collection of sketches by legendary artists of the Baroque era.

The only museum to focus solely on preliminary artworks, the collection includes drawings and studies by Rubens, Tiepolo, Guardi and Fragonard.

The sketches provide insights into the artists’ creative processes, and a rare glimpse into the birth of a work of art.

While you’re here, take a stroll around the impressive gardens.

Practical Info

The Baroque Museum is on the northern bank of the River Salzach, in the classically landscaped gardens of Mirabell Palace.
