Interesting Facts about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
In the former apartment of the Mozart family, there is now a museum showcasing items such as Mozart’s childhood violin, his clavichord, letters, and certificates. This memorial to the musical genius attracts thousands of visitors from all over the world each year, offering a glimpse into the life of the child prodigy.

In later years, from 1773 to 1780, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart lived in a house on Makartplatz. Here, there is also an impressive exhibition about Mozart, his parents, and his siblings. The move to this new apartment was necessary due to space constraints, and it allowed the family to host numerous friends and musicians. It was in this house that Mozart composed many symphonies, divertimentos, serenades, piano and violin concertos, a bassoon concerto, arias, masses, and other sacred music works.

After a bomb destroyed much of the house during World War II, it was reconstructed based on old plans and today also houses a cozy café.
