Since March 2023, the Panorama Museum has been closed and the Sattler Panorama has been stored in a special climate box in the state's disaster control room on the grounds of the Schwarzenberg Military Barracks. From 2025, at its 200th anniversary, the Salzburg Panorama will become the centrepiece of a new museum in the south wing of the historic Orangery in the Mirabell Gardens: Orangerie Salzburg - Panorama Museum / World Heritage Centre.
The Panorama Museum shows magnificent views of the town of Salzburg and its surroundings in the form of a historical cycloramic painting. Varying special exhibitions take visitors back in time.
At the Panorama Museum, from a round platform in the centre of the enormous cyclorama, visitors can enjoy a stunning view of Salzburg and its surroundings dated from 1829. The unique city panorama by Johann Michael Sattler has a circumference of 26 m and a total surface 130m². Visitors can discover sights and many small details from the everyday life of the citizens from 200 years ago.
In addition, the Panorama Museum owns around 130 cosmoramas by Sattler's son Hubert. These offer onlookers the opportunity to get to know places from all over the world. The paintings were created with meticulous brushwork and are characterised by strict realism and a precision of detail that is unparalleled. They are frequently shown at the Panorama Museum.
