Mario Mauroner Contemporary Art Salzburg was founded in 1972 by Mario & Waltraud Mauroner (at the time the gallery was still named Galerie Academia). After 30 years of international experience and realization of more than 400 exhibitions and participation in international art fairs an additional 1200sqm exhibition space on two levels was opened in Vienna, offering spectacular room for the presentation of large-scale sculpture – one of the main focuses of the gallery.
