In 1880 the International Mozart Foundation established the first museum at Mozart’s birthplace. Every year, the elaborately designed museum draws thousands of visitors from all over the world who are interested in Mozart and his family. The original rooms of Mozart’s birthplace contain numerous exhibits like Mozart’s children’s violin, his clavichord, documents, letters and portraits of the musician. A special exhibition of the International Mozarteum Foundation provides you with authentic insights into the life of the genius musician. The main themes of the exhibition are “Mozart’s friendship with Salzburg families” and “sacred music and veneration of the saints”. The architect and cartoonist of the newspaper Salzburger Nachrichten designed three more brand-new exhibitions: “A day in a life of a child prodigy”, “Mozart at the theatre” and “The Mozarts – a family introduces itself”. Furthermore, you can see original instruments, furniture from Mozart’s time and items of daily use. Enjoy a visit to the birthplace of Mozart in Salzburg.
