Better than the birthplace but not by much. Save your euros and rent Amadeus. If you do decide to visit, the audio guide is basically a medley of Mozart and Mozart era music with some trivial facts thrown in. more

As a former high school band geek, I was excited to finally visit a former the home of one of the greatest musical geniuses of all time. After recently visiting the Haus der Musik museum in Vienna and enjoying the well-told story of Mozart's life, I expected something similar but with more original artifacts. Unfortunately, this 7 euro pp museum... more

A warning: I am a professional musician and so am intrigued by Mozart. However, my wife is not and still really enjoyed this place. Their unfolding of the history of Mozart appeals to music lovers and those don't. You get to hear audio clips of his music and solid information on the electronic audio guide (avail in multiple languages). Amazing... more

I may be missing something but I didn't like the museum that much, Its quite small and although the audio guide is convenient there isn't much atmosphere in the place. As far as I know there were no original Mozart musical instruments and no real celebration of his genius. Expected more for one of Austria favorite sons. more

We visited the Mozart Wonhnhaus at the end of November this year. We thoroughly enjoyed it. My nephew, a ten year old, enjoyed it the most. He was familiar because of piano lessons, but I think it was the audio tour that kept his attention. A visit to Salzburg would be incomplete without a visit here. The displays were tastefully... more

I knew that Mozart was a genius kid but after touring this place, I had a new appreciation of exactly just how much of a genius he is!! TIPS: 1) Allow at least 2 hours to listen to all the audio commentaries and read the labels on the displays 2) I don't know if this place ever gets crowded but... more

My boyfriend and I went here, and we loved it. The museum has an incredible collection of original works and items owned my Wolfgang and the Mozart family. There are a few really bizarre rooms, like a room with a map on the ceiling to represent the "upside down way that Mozart viewed the world of music," but even they... more

Allow a couple of hours at least to make the most of this well-designed museum tracing the life and times of Mozart and his family. The entry charge includes an audio-guide (in several languages) that is co-ordinated with numbered exhibits and features recordings of works composed by Mozart. The exhibits include replicas of the humorous target games the family played,... more

A pleasant way to spend an hour or so. It's only a small house, but the exhibits are worth seeing and the audio tour brings them to life. Even my 11 year-old didn't get bored! more
