Best Museum in austria

J	Jan Wagner on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fantastic. I have expected a little museum but it is great even for families with kids
J	John Fenton on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We were disappointed. There was almost no setting in context (e.g. who were the Celts?), almost no meaningful maps showing extent of settlement, or where the important cultural centres (La Tène - spelt incorrectly in the museum, Hallstatt etc) and routes were, and more importantly, little introduction to Dürrenberg, the centre of the second floor display, and unknown to me). After the ground floor, there were no titles or introductions on the main three floors. We left feeling uninformed and frustrated (although we are fluent in German).
L	Linda Pugh on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The museum is quite extensive and has good displays of artifacts mostly discovered in the local area relating to the historical salt mining. The staff were very helpful to us English visitors and there was a useful guide to the exhibits. However, there were one or two times when we found it difficult to decide which was the next room in the process.

M	Miljan Lečić on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Keltenmuseum in Hallein near Salzburg contains major discoveries from the La Tene period of the Iron Age which come from burials in the area surrounding the nearby Hallein Salt Mine (Salzbergwerk Dürrnberg), at Dürrnberg. The Museum was founded in 1882 and was housed in the Bürgerspital. In 1930 it was moved into the Rathaus and from 1952 occupied a gateway of the town or stadt's fortifications. In 1970 the name was changed to Keltenmuseum and the museum was moved into the former Salt Offices (Saline Hallein) on the Pflegerplatz, which fronts the river Salzach. In 1980 the Museum staged a major exhibition "Die Kelten in Mitteleuropa" (The Celts in Central Europe), which demonstrated the wealth of discoveries that were being made at the Hallein. In 1993-4 the Austrian architect Heinz Tesar drew up plans for the conversion and extension of the Museum and on 1 January 2012 the Museum became a constituent part of Salzburg Museum.

o	opx 123 on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really great & detailed expositions. Founds from Hallstatt & La Tène time period on ground and on 1st (mainly) floor. (This year there is also exhibition of old toys - 2nd floor) Parking is near by (Perner insel).
B	Branislav Kutnik on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice place, but you really need to have at least a bit of overview about celt culture, to trully enjoy the experience here. The map of the museum is placed behind the ticket purchase stand, so you don't really have an idea, what content awaits you. We got there 1 hour before the closing and that is not by far enough time to fully explore the museum. Ideally at least 2.5 to 3 hours.
