Two walls with murals, a potter’s kiln and other finds uncovered during excavations at the Neue Residenz give you an idea of just how well furnished Roman houses were in Iuvavum–Salzburg barely 2000 years ago.
The Panorama Museum starts behind the turnstile. The highlight of the exhibition is a unique cyclorama 26 metres long and 5 metres high.
