Franz Xaver Gruber’s grave

Britta Jaschinski/Apa Publications

Back in the town, the Celtic Museum (Pflegerplatz 5; www.salzburgmuseum.at; daily 9am–5pm) houses a fascinating collection of archaeological finds from the area, including equipment used by the miners, as well as priceless burial offerings. The Silent Night Museum (Gruberplatz 1; www.salzburgmuseum.at; closed for restoration until September 2018) is a celebration of the famous Christmas carol whose composer, Franz Xaver Gruber (1787–1863), is buried in Hallein in front of his house (museum). He was organist and choirmaster here since 1835, but composed the famous carol as early as 1818, when teaching at a primary school in the village of Arnsdorf.
