Get a rare glimpse into Mozart’s life and work at his former Vienna residence, where he composed some of his greatest music while navigating family life and public life in 18th-century Vienna.

Getting started

The entrance is located on Domgasse, a quiet street just steps from St. Stephen’s Cathedral. Show your ticket at the reception desk and you’ll be guided to the start of the exhibition. After a quick mandatory security check, you’ll receive your audio guide and begin exploring at your own pace.

Mozart's world, room by room

Once inside, you’ll move through beautifully restored rooms where Mozart lived from 1784 to 1787. These spaces feel surprisingly intimate — his apartment was large for its time, and you’ll walk through his parlors, study, and music room, each filled with period furnishings, portraits, and personal items. Original manuscripts and letters line the displays, and the rooms are quiet enough to let you imagine what life must have been like during Mozart’s most productive years.

Hear Mozart's story | The audio guide for all ages

The multilingual audio guide adds depth to the experience for both adults and children. For adults, the audio guide offers a blend of historical context, storytelling, and music that connects you directly to Mozart’s daily life. You’ll hear about his financial ups and downs, his complicated relationship with his father, and his musical innovations, all while standing in the spaces where it happened. The narration includes excerpts from his compositions, letting you hear the very music composed under that same roof.

For children, the dedicated audio guide turns the visit into a playful, educational adventure. Through engaging narration and storytelling, young visitors learn about Mozart’s childhood, his love of animals, and even the mischief he got into as a young prodigy. It’s designed to keep them curious and entertained, while introducing real moments from his life.
