I love this place! It is a 3-story house with even original wooden staircases from 1845. The ground floor is used more as a show place for works from Mendelssohn with some basic information about his timeline on the corridor wall but generally the ground floor has the most interactive functions in this museum. My favorite room is the Effektorium where you can try to be a conductor on yourself (it is a little pity that I have not found my favorite e-moll op 64), I do not know why I cannot upload a video here but I add a photo of the pink room. The first floor is all about Mendelssohn's life as a composer (even as a painter), his family and his connections during his time. It is really informative but it is really well designed. The plentiful information was organised in a structured way and was shown through different objects/media, so it is not that you read all the time, but try to get the information through different interactions. The second floor is about Fanny Hensel and you wil be partnered with her piano cycle "The Year". BTW there is even a picture room where you can change clothes and take a photo. I payed 8 euros for a student ticket and there are audio guides for other languages if you do not speak German. I don't know why but during my visit it was quite empty so on my side you can go there spontaneouly without making a reservation in advance.

This is a wonderful museum to learn about Mendelsohn and his family. The house is also a good example of the period and the displays are both interesting and stimulating. On Sunday mornings there is chamber concert performed which is an extra bonus to the visit.
