In recent years the MdM Salzburg has presented numerous international artists such as Ernst Haas, George Condo, Fernand Léger, Gerhard Richter, Shirin Neshat, Erwin Wurm, William Kentridge, Markus Raetz, Helmut Newton, Stephan Balkenhol, Anselm Kiefer, Max Ernst, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Jean DuBuffet, EVA & ADELE, Christoph Schlingensief, Rebecca Horn, Nobuyoshi Araki, ...

The MdM Salzburg is also home to the Austrian Photo Gallery, which now has more than 17,000 photographic works.

*Museum of Modern Art Mönchsberg
Directly on the steep cliff of the Mönchsberg, sixty metres above Anton Neumayr Square, the MdM Mönchsberg has been enthroned above the roofs of the old town since 2004.
In 1998, an international architectural competition was held for the construction of a new museum on the Mönchsberg. An eleven-member jury chaired by Luigi Snozzi from Switzerland selected the project of the Munich architectural team Friedrich Hoff Zwink from 145 submissions. Especially the sensitive reference of the design to the striking appearance of the water tower from the 19th century was The glazed staircases provide a view of the historic building. Over a construction period of three and a half years, a museum was built that offers the greatest possible variability for a wide variety of exhibition formats on four levels.

The entire exterior was clad with local Untersberg marble and divided by vertical joints. In addition to their function within the air-conditioning technology of the building, these can also be understood as a reference to the city of Salzburg: the staff of certain arias from Mozart's opera 'Don Giovanni' is inscribed by a computer program used for the first time on the façade in the form of rhythmically set slots. On a generously structured area of 2300 m², the interior offers a modern-puristic framework for exhibitions of 20th and 21st century art with its different requirements.
