Salzburg Museum — Attraction in Salzburg

I like museums and art galleries, but I just had a poor experience with this visit.

They had an exhibit on the bottom floor for this guy who's are looked basically like he dipped air filters in dirt and cake frosting. Some looked like they were dipped in both.

The upper floors had a lot of offer, but the top floor presented me with a lot of obstacles. Someone was doing kiddy land story time in the middle of the exhibit so I couldn't look at half the art because 30 kids were sitting on the floor.

Couldn't have been a good story because they kept looking at me whilst I examined the other half of the exhibit.

At the end of the top floor, someone was conducting some kind of class and I didn't want to interrupt that, so I had to back track all the way to the beginning of that floor. I had to pass story time again. Of course they looked at me because the story was boring.

There's also a cafe on the middle floor, half way through the exhibit. All these people were being loud af so it was hard to enjoy the photography and history posted in the adjoining room.

While professionally done, this museum lacks cohesion and flow. Many city museums paint a colorful portrait of the city through a series of chronologically-arranged rooms and exhibits, but the Salzburg one felt a lot more random. There were some exhibits on historical topics, but they generally were not very compelling, in no particular order, and mixed with other completely different exhibits. There were some attempts to add modern audio-visual elements, but these were only in German and didn't seem very interesting or informative. The room on archaic musical instruments was the only one that I would call fascinating, though probably of limited interest to anybody who isn't a devotee of classical music. The current exhibit in the basement on toys was not interesting to me at all. I almost missed the fact there is an additional portion of the museum across the breezeway, downstairs. Here finally was a chronology of the city, plus the famous 360° painting of the city, which is a must-see—definitely pay the extra...

We had a Salzburg card and decided to see this museum on a rainy day. The ticket counter issued us a ticket but said nothing to us about where it starts or gave any information to us at all-he just pointed. We went up the elevator to the third floor following other people and ended up in a room with a talk in German. We went back downstairs and asked for a guide and were told the next room iPad. We went there and asked for an audio guide or guide in English and just got told NO to all of our inquiries. It was either no English or no guide, not sure which. The man st the counter was rude and provided no avenue for any type of communication about the museum; he made no eye contact with us. We walked out having not seen the...
