The Sound of Music: Austrian museum pays tribute to Von Trapp family and Hollywood musical
Over sixty years since its release, 'The Sound of Music' now has a dedicated museum in Salzburg, which combines history with Hollywood to celebrate the remarkable story of the Von Trapp family.
Austrian museum pays tribute to Von Trapp family and Hollywood musical sensation The Sound of Music. This first-ever museum, situated in Salzburg, commemorates both the iconic 1965 film starring Julie Andrews and the real-life Von Trapp family. The story of the family, who fled Nazi-occupied Austria and later became famous as a musical group, also forms the basis of a Rodgers and Hammerstein Broadway musical.
The museum is located in the 17th-century Hellbrunn Palace, where guests can enjoy original sets from the film, including the well-known gazebo where Liesl and Rolf sang "Sixteen Going on Seventeen." Aside from sets, the exhibition showcases nearly 450 objects from the movie, encompassing props, costumes, posters, and music recordings. The museum remains open daily until November 1st, with a reopening planned for March 2027.
