Roof renovation

In mid-January 2025, renovation work began at the Museum of the Celts Hallein. The attic will be converted into a new exhibition space called the ‘Kurt Zeller Forum’, which will be available to visitors for special exhibitions and events in the future.

The museum has been open daily from 9 am to 5 pm again since October 2025, despite ongoing construction work. However, the first floor is currently temporarily inaccessible. All other areas – including the Prehistory exhibition on the ground floor, the interactive play area “Celts for Kids” and the Princely Chambers – remain open and invite you to explore.

Thank you for your understanding and for visiting us during this exciting renovation phase!

Further information

About the museum

Meet the Celts, experience prehistory, and feel the city’s history.

The Museum of the Celts Hallein is one of the largest museums in Europe for Celtic art and culture. The prehistory of Salzburg and the city history of Hallein also come alive here. The combination of Iron Age cemeteries, settlement areas, and salt mining on the Dürrnberg is unique in Europe. Walkable galleries, insights into burial chambers, artistic gold jewellery – the art and culture of the Celts can be experienced in the Museum of the Celts Hallein.

The Museum of the Celts Hallein also includes the Silent Night Museum Hallein, which is housed in the former flat of the song composer Franz Xaver Gruber.

The Museum of the Celts Hallein and Salzburg Museum GmbH are working together under a management and cooperation agreement.
