New reason to stay away from Salzburg (+video)

I warned you about this a while back, and it finally opens to the public tomorrow.

It’s the big one – Salzburg’s belated tribute to its most famous citizens. Not Mozart (who’s Mozart?). It’s the Trapp Family exhibition in the town that kicked them out.

The exciting Sound of Music exhibition at the Salzburg Museum has 180 pieces of genuine family memorabilia gathered from around the world. And this is just a trial run. Plans are in hand for a year-round Trapp Family Museum. Salzburg has finally forgiven the unreasonable, anti-Nazi Trapps.

The Sound of Music itself has just opened in a Salzburg theatre for the first time. According to Der Standard, the city is gripped by Trapp-mania. Next, they’s be asking the Pope to beatify the singing children.

I shall be staying away…. and I may be gone awhile.

Here’s a video promo to keep you happy.
