The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Inner City
In Vienna's best-known district, pedestrian boulevards Kärntner Strasse and Graben connect you with landmarks such as the Wiener Staatsoper (Vienna State Opera), Vienna’s iconic Stephansdom (St. Stephen’s Cathedral) and the vast compound of Hofburg, the Habsburgs’ former Imperial Palace. Peek down side streets such as Annagasse and Weihburggasse, and Graben’s Seilergasse and Habsburggasse, to get a feel for the centre. The Imperial Apartments and the refreshingly demystifying Sissi Museum are must-dos at Hofburg. Spacious squares such as Am Hof and Freyung often host beautiful seasonal and antiques markets.

- ShardsmanIndio, California93 contributionsGreat place for children as well as adultsI have been in Vienna for four days and have been fighting huge crowds at every tourist attraction. Someone suggested that I go to The House of Music. This museum is conveniently located close to city center and is housed in an older building, but the interior is refurbished in very modern style. The displays are very interesting and show memorabilia of the Vienna Symphony and the maestros who led it. There are also individual displays of Austrian composers such as Haydn and Mozart. This is a great place to take children as there are many interactive educational displays.Visited November 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 4 November 2023
- Twomaples493 contributionsEducational visit wrapped up in fun!We were there on a quiet day and did not have to wait long for any of the interactive activities. The musical staircase was great, conducting the symphony well done but “writing” your own score took a bit of figuring out. You roll each of 4 dice 4 times until you get a check mark for each one. Then the activity will play your composition for you. It will be numbered and you have the option of purchasing the resultant sheet music before you leave. There was another opportunity to purchase the music you created a little later on. The displays were beautifully done and held the interest of young and old alikeVisited November 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 23 November 2023
- PavlaPavlaChrudim, Czech Republic6,879 contributionsMusic could be really funThis museum was a big surprise for me. Absolutely amazingly presented theme of the music! At the entrance, there is a staircase, part of which is a keyboard, so when you walk up it, the individual keys make sounds. The museum is not only full of exhibits related to the greats of classical music, but there are also many interactive elements. The automaton will compose W.A. Mozart-style music for you based on your name. By rolling virtual dice, you "compose" your own waltz. You can try conducting the Vienna Philharmonic. You can even take home recipes of Ludwig van Beethoven's favorite dishes.Visited December 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 30 December 2023
- SallyG007St. Albans, United Kingdom16 contributionsInteraction and information. Fun for all the family.Really good interactive museum. Had so much fun starting with walking up the musical stairs and later virtually conducting the Vienna Philharmonic! For musical history buffs there was a section with a whole room devoted to each composer with a link to Vienna. My non-musical partner enjoyed it as much as I did.Visited March 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 12 March 2024

Wonderful interactive experience for all ages - I had as much fun on musical stairs as kids did! When creating music, you were given the option of purchasing a print out on your way out. Conducting the orchestra was worth waiting for and would likely be a big hit with the younger set. Informative and well organized, well worth a visit.

This place was phenomenal, a real hidden gem. We were on a tour with a very well informed guide, and no one had ever heard of this place. We made our way on our own and were absolutely amazed. Lots of hands on things to do related to sound and music, as well as very informative exhibits. Well worth a visit. Suitable for all ages and musical tastes.

A fun museum where you can learn all about the science of sound, different instruments and famous classical composers. There’s fun interactive elements that both kids and adults can enjoy, the virtual composer part is really fun, would recommend

A great place. The orchestra conducting experience is really fun, and altogether it's worth it (used a Vienna pass for it).

Great place to explore, learn, and enjoy. Lots of history to read and experience, especially composers. And the interactive rooms were fabulous: even the one where you can be the conductor!
We did not know what to expect and we were totally thrilled with the experience and with the staff. And this was the least costly of all of our experiences. Go and enjoy.

A hidden prize. We loved our trip there. So much to do, and a great visit with our 5 year old. Loved the coat check so we could leave our stuff and travel unencumbered

I was planning to take my 16 year-old son, who is interested in classical music, but a friend suggested that she thought the museum was geared to younger children. Is it interesting and appropriate for teenagers?

Hello,
I think he would still enjoy it as I definitely did and I’m in my late 20s. I think I would have enjoyed it even more if I actually listened to classical music, so I’m sure he’ll love it. Make sure you check out the piano stairs :)
