Mozart’s Birthplace

Mozart’s Birthplace, a townhouse in Salzburg, has been transformed into a museum of the composer’s life. Set over 3 floors, the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is also where he lived on the third floor with his sister and parents from his birth on 27 January 1756 until 1773. The rooms can be viewed in their original state and include artefacts such as some of his instruments, documents, keepsakes and portraits.

The exhibits of the third floor include Mozart’s childhood violin and harpsichord alongside family letters, portraits and early versions of his music. The house’s second floor is devoted to Mozart’s passion for opera, housing the clavichord on which he composed The Magic Flute. The first floor reconstructs life in Mozart’s lifetime with period furniture.
