WasserSpiegel - Water Museum
The water museum in the elevated reservoir on the Mönchsberg is a multimedia exploration tour through the history and processing of drinking water in Salzburg.
The WasserSpiegel is part of the Mönchsberg elevated reservoir, which, with a capacity of 25,000 m³, is an important part of the water supply for the city of Salzburg. On 500 square metres, this interactive museum provides information on the history and present of water supply, its origin, quality and the necessary technology. The various stations for trying out, water tasting and hundreds of exhibits make for an entertaining experience.
The Water Museum, which was founded in 1998 and is run by Salzburg AG Tourismus, was set up in the adapted rooms of an abandoned drinking water reservoir from 1929. The WasserSpiegel is open to visitors at weekends, the entrance is along the footpath between Hohensalzburg Fortress and the Museum of Modern Art, opposite the bird display board. The facility has a constant room temperature of 12 degrees, so it is recommended to wear a pullover or jacket.
