We were thrilled! so many thing you can do yourself. Very "user-friendly"museum, we had fun like little kids..and maybe learned something too..As already in other reviews - the Masters of music floor was amazing. Highly recommendable for a couple of hours visit. more

I am a junior high music teacher and semi pro musician. When I read Rick Steve's glowing review of this museum, I made this a must-see on our June 2009 trip to Vienna. We (me, my husband, and 15 year old musician son) went on a half price evening. The reduced fee was about the best part of the trip.... more

Excellent visit, we spent two and a half hours there after thinking it would be an hour.

Also great stuff about mixing music and sounds and the physics of sound. Too much to really see and hear in one visit, fantastic... more

Absolutely this attraction is a must-see! It is wonderful for adults and children alike! Very interactive, but also educational (learning about the different composers)! It really has something for everyone! Our whole family was in agreement that this was a very worthwhile visit! It does take about 2.5 hours to go through all 4 floors of this museum without rushing,... more

The Haus der Musik is the perfect place to let your mind wander into the world of music. It not only gives you the history of Austria's great composers (each are dedicated a room with information and artifacts) but everyone is welcome to hear, touch, see and feel music. The Haus der Musik lets you sample not only classical music... more
