The Cathedral Museum is located in the galleries of the Salzburg Cathedral. These wonderful rooms with their baroque décor and view of the city as well as into the cathedral are worth seeing in their own right. |

The cabinet of curiosities of Salzburg came into being during the second half of the 17th century.
