Stille Nacht Museum Hallein

The Silent Night Museum Hallein is located in the district of the same name, directly opposite the parish church of Hallein – the place where Franz Xaver Gruber worked. Gruber himself performed his composition on the organ, which was renovated in 2018. The composer lived in the former sacristan and choirmaster’s house, which is now a museum. His work is presented here in a beautiful atmosphere.

In addition to the history of the creation and dissemination of ‘Silent Night! Holy Night!’, the exhibition also focuses on the living conditions of the Gruber family. Tip for young visitors: in the family room on the first floor of the museum, you can learn about the Gruber family in a playful way with board games, puzzles, a photo station and a treasure hunt through the museum.
