2025 is a special year: the world-famous Hollywood film ‘The Sound of Music’ starring Julie Andrews is celebrating its 60th anniversary. The story of the film is about Maria von Trapp, who is sent from Nonnberg Abbey in 1925 as a governess to the motherless Trapp family to look after the seven children of the widower Georg Ritter von Trapp. The film is based on the Broadway musical of the same name (1959) by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein. The real Trapp family has maintained close contact with the Salzburg Heimatwerk for decades. This is evident from several historical documents and still exists today between the descendants and the institution. This connection, which also takes up the topic of Austrian costume in general – which became world-famous thanks to the Hollywood film – as well as the anniversary of the film and, last but not least, a new museum dedicated to ‘The Sound of Music’ and the Trapp family, are the reason for a guest performance by the Salzburg Museum at the Salzburger Heimatwerk. The exhibition, curated by Peter Husty, shows a selection of objects from the Roger Pluijm Collection, which the Salzburg Museum acquired in 2024, a selection of objects from the Trapp family from the Salzburg Museum collection and a presentation of some dirndls, drawings and correspondence from the holdings of the Salzburger Heimatwerk.
