Fodor's Expert Review Museum der Moderne

There are two branches of the Museum der Moderne in Salzburg: Mönchsberg and Rupertinum. The former enjoys one of Salzburg's most famous scenic spots, atop the sheer cliff face of the Mönchsberg. Clad in minimalist white marble, the modern art museum has three exhibition levels, with graphics and paintings by Austrian and international artists like Oskar Kokoschka and Erwin Wurm, and a focus on large-scale installations and sculptural works. In the Altstadt below, the Rupertinum offers changing exhibitions of modern graphic art and interactive special exhibits within a lovely early-Baroque-era building. Both branches have superb dining options, but the Mönchsberg restaurant edges it for the spectacular city views (come in the evening to see the city illuminated).
