Mozart Haus, 2nd floor - Mozart’s musical world
-
The 1st room on the 2nd floor (“… - and the best place in the world for my profession”) presents the most important musicians and composers, both colleagues and rivals, in Mozart’s Vienna. This is followed by rooms dealing with the three great Da Ponte operas, The Marriage of Figaro, Così fan tutte and Don Giovanni. These rooms still have their original stucco ceilings and in the “Figaro room” the original murals have also been exposed, giving an idea of what the decorations throughout the house might have looked like. The connecting area deals with the Requiem and the end of Mozart’s life. The last room is devoted to The Magic Flute, possibly Mozart’s most well-known opera.

Mozart Haus, 2nd floor - the stairs to the 3th floor
-
The composer lived in Mozarthaus Vienna from 1784 to 1787 in grand style, with four large rooms, two small ones and a kitchen. The life and works of this musical genius are presented here on four exhibition levels. In addition to Mozart’s apartment, which has been adapted by Wien Museum, visitors can find out about the times in which Mozart lived and his most important works. The exhibition focuses on his years in Vienna, which marked a high point in his creativity.
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.
