Vienna for the Twens
Museums
Haus der Musik is Vienna’s most playful museum and one of its most surprising. Just steps from the State Opera, this interactive sound museum invites you to hear, touch, and even create music. Whether you're a classical fan or just curious, it's an immersive experience that brings the world of sound to life in unexpected ways.
Where Sound Meets Science
Ever wondered how your voice looks on screen? Or what a conductor really does? At Haus der Musik, you can step into a composer’s shoes, conduct the Vienna Philharmonic virtually, and even compose your own waltz by rolling giant dice. It's part museum, part science center, part musical playground.

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.
Family-Friendly and Fun
Haus der Musik is a favorite for families. Kids love the interactive exhibits, adults love the unexpected insights, and music lovers of all ages find something to enjoy. It’s a place that makes you think, laugh, and hum as you leave.
