Meet the Masters of Music
One floor is dedicated to the great composers who called Vienna home: Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Strauss, and Mahler. Through holograms, letters, instruments, and sound samples, you get a real sense of who they were, not just as legends, but as people with quirks, rivals, and dreams.
The Vienna Philharmonic Room is a highlight, featuring a multimedia tribute to one of the world’s most prestigious orchestras. It’s a chance to hear the music up close, and understand how Vienna became the city of sound.
