Salzburg Marionette Museum – Small Stars in the Fortress

In the basement of Fortress Hohensalzburg there is a unique museum. Immerse yourself in the fabulous world of puppets!

The magical puppets will enchant you and your family. Many historical puppets of the world-famous Salzburg Marionette Theater are exhibited at the Salzburg Marionette Museum. The "World of Marionettes" adventure museum has many highlights to offer. Already at the entrance you will be greeted personally by a three dimensional animation by Archbishop Wolf Dietrich.

You can also see Papageno and Papagena from Mozart's "Magic Flute", a stage dedicated specifically to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, giving an idea of how Mozart used to travel. A special attraction is also the stage, which shows the fortress and farmers in the framework of the peasant riot in the year 1525. Experience this unforgettable journey through time!
