Vienna House of Music and Mozarthaus Entrance Tickets

Vienna, Austria

House of Music (Haus der Musik) is a modern, interactive museum dedicated to sound and music, and located in Vienna's first district. Spread out over several floors, visitors are invited to playfully make new discoveries and music, and to actively participate in the museum's exhibits.

The House of Music was awarded the Austrian Museum Prize for its innovative design and is located in the former Palais of Archduke Charles. At one time the Palais was the residence of Otto Nicolai (1810 - 1849), who composed the opera "The Merry Wives of Windsor" and founded the Vienna Philharmonic concerts here. A total of 5000 square meters has been set aside exclusively for areas dedicated to a wide array of approaches to music, and most of all, the experience of music.

Mozarthaus Vienna is a new center devoted to the life and works of Mozart including the historical apartment.

Domgasse 5 is the only one of Mozart's apartments that still exists today. The composer lived in Mozarthaus Vienna from 1784 to 1787 in grand style, with four large rooms, two small ones and a kitchen. The life and works of this musical genius are presented here on four exhibition levels. In addition to Mozart's apartment, which has been adapted by Wien Museum, visitors can find out about the times in which Mozart lived and his most important works. The exhibition focuses on his years in Vienna, which marked a high point in his creativity.

Both museums do not have to be visited on the same day as the ticket is valid for one entry to each museum within one year.

Great fun was had by us all at the House of music - a very interesting afternoon and we were gald to be indoors as it was raining hard at the time!. the Mozarthaus was an indulgence for me, being an avid Mozart fan, and did not disappoint.

Best for families as there is much for kids to do while Mom and Dad read the exhibits on the history of Vienna's famous musicians. This is self-guided.
