Read curatorial context and practical visitor information for Best-sellers: The most popular paintings from the Residenzgalerie collection at DomQuartier Salzburg in Salzburg
This exhibition showcases the most popular paintings from the Residenzgalerie collection, determined by website access data and merchandise popularity. It explores the historical distinction between painting genres while contrasting academic prestige with the personal preferences of visitors.
The Best-sellers exhibition was mounted as a final presentation from the Residenzgalerie collection prior to the museum's closure in April 2026. By utilizing website access statistics and merchandising sales figures, the exhibition highlights the artworks that have most consistently resonated with the public, offering a unique perspective that often diverges from traditional academic rankings. The display examines five major painting genres—history, portrait, genre, landscape, and still life—which historically carried varying degrees of prestige. While academic tradition long prioritized history painting, the exhibition invites visitors to explore these categories through a democratic lens, ultimately allowing them to identify their own favorites among the featured category winners.
The page provides a virtual tour of the exhibition for those unable to visit in person. For physical admission, visitors are encouraged to consult official museum entry information on the DomQuartier website.
