Mozarthaus Vienna

The Mozarthaus Vienna was Mozart's residence from 1784 to 1787.

This building in Vienna's Old Town, not far from St. Stephen's Cathedral, is his only surviving Viennese residence and is now a museum.
When Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart lived in Vienna, he moved over and over again. 

According to the management of the Mozarthaus, theirs is the only flat of the genius that is still preserved in its original state. 

When Mozart stayed in the building, he rented an apartment that consisted of four rooms, two cabinets and a very large kitchen. 

Today, the entire building serves as a state-of-the-art museum.
 
The museum aims to portray the life of Mozart and the Vienna of the time in which he lived here - the era of late Baroque, a cultural boom period for Austria. 

The exhibition illuminates the many aspects to Mozart: His freemason activities, his gambling, his drinking and women - but mostly his composing and the musical tradition in Vienna in the 18th century. 

All this is shown on the third floor of the Mozarthaus.
 On the second floor, visitors can immerse themselves in an exhibition dedicated to Mozart′s operas. 

His actual apartment is on the first floor and makes the most authentic part of the museum. 

The ground floor and basement are home to a café, an event venue and - you might have guessed it - a souvenir shop. There are combined tickets available that allow you to see both the Mozarthaus Vienna and the House of Music.
