Original objects from the time of the 1525 rebellion reveal the background to the uprisings by the peasants and miners of the archbishopric of Salzburg and the Princely County of Tyrol.

Silent witnesses such as St. Catherine from the plundered Neustift monastery, the famous portrait of Salzburg Archbishop Matthäus Lang von Wellenburg or the crossbow of Emperor Maximilian I. show the worries and hardships of that time.
