Salzburg has been considered a city of culture for centuries – a reputation that it still lives up to today with its lively, changeable art scene. Curators draw from a rich pool of local talent, whose works fit seamlessly into the international art scene. This diversity makes Salzburg a meeting place for art lovers from all over the world.

More than 50 galleries enrich the city of Mozart – from classical painting and design to modern sculpture and installations. We particularly recommend the galleries around the old town and in the immediate vicinity of the Hotel Stein. You can find an overview of the most important addresses in the museum article of our partner hotel.

Salzburg’s event calendar is full of highlights for art lovers. Whether at the “Art & Antique”, the “ART Salzburg Contemporary” or the “creative” – this is where the scene meets. Events such as the Long Night of Museums or the Art & Design Market also attract visitors to the city. You can regularly find current vernissages in Salzburg and the surrounding area in our calendar of events.

The region produces exciting artistic personalities:

• Martin Rehrl from Scheffau am Wilden Kaiser creates life-size metal sculptures full of attention to detail.
• Tobias Ballaty, an internationally renowned Salzburg sculptor, impresses with stone sculptures weighing several tons and of extraordinary delicacy.
• Tina Graf, born in Taiwan and living in Salzburg, touches with her sensitive prints and paintings.

In addition to baroque masterpieces, Salzburg also sets modern architectural accents:

• Hangar-7 fascinates with its futuristic shape and houses historic airplanes and works of art.
• Paracelsus Bad & Kurhaus impresses with its elegant, wave-shaped façade.
• The Itzling district center also combines functionality and avant-garde design in an exciting way.

Glass art combines all four elements and stands for poetry, craftsmanship and beauty in Salzburg:

• Glaskunst Kreis in the old town has been combining creativity with precision for 40 years.
• Monika Riedl in Thalgau offers fine glass decanters, jewelry and home accessories.
• At Hotel Stein, you can experience glass art up close: works of art by BAROVIER & TOSO adorn many areas of our hotel – a highlight for design lovers.

Whether gallery, sculpture, architecture or glass art – Salzburg is a total work of art. And the Hotel Stein is the ideal place to discover it in style.
