Museums
Composer Residences
Mozarthaus Vienna offers something no other museum in the city can - a personal connection to the life and mind of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, in the only one of his Vienna apartments still in existence today. Located just behind St. Stephen’s Cathedral, this historic space is where Mozart lived at the height of his fame, composing works like “The Marriage of Figaro.”
Step Into Mozart’s World
The apartment itself is elegantly preserved, and while modest by today’s standards, it was one of the more spacious homes Mozart ever lived in. Period furniture, personal items, and detailed reconstructions offer insight into daily life in 18th-century Vienna and into Mozart’s character as both a genius and a man.
Spread across three floors, the museum not only honors his time here, but also explores his broader musical legacy. You’ll hear about his collaborators, his rivals, and the social pressures he faced as a working composer in imperial Vienna. It’s more than biography. It’s context, culture, and music brought to life.
Multimedia and Music
Expect a highly curated audio tour (included with your ticket), video installations, and listening stations that let you dive into Mozart’s compositions room by room. The top floors host special exhibitions that change throughout the year, often blending music history with art and cultural theory.
