Mozart Haus, 3th floor - Vienna in the era of Mozart

Starting with the quotation “…I assure you that this is a magnificent place…”, the tour begins with the personal and social situation of Mozart in Vienna. The first group of rooms is designed to locate Mozart in the city. A monitor installation (one monitor let into the floor and another upright monitor) provides a bird’s-eye view of Mozart’s Vienna. A magnifying glass moves over a map of the city, stopping at the places where Mozart lived, with corresponding views of the city being shown as accompaniment. The next room is devoted to persons who played a role in Mozart’s life in Vienna (his customers, patrons, employees, friends, theatre officials etc.). This is followed by the installation “Mozart and his time” consisting of a showcase placing Mozart in his historical context.
