Whether you know a lot or just a little about classical music and famous composers, exploring the home of Joseph Haydn is sure to fascinate.

Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) spent the last twelve years of his life in Gumpendorf, at that time an outlying village of Vienna. He extended the home himself and stayed there from age 65 until his death. 

The composer's apartment has been painstakingly restored to its original condition, giving guests a real feeling of the era.

What's more, with the maps and audio devices provided, you can explore the home at your own pace and get a close look at some of Haydn's personal objects. The audio devices are available with descriptions in English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch, and Italian.

The museum's permanent exhibition focuses is on the last years of the composer’s life, linking them to the political and social setting of his time. The garden has been reconstructed according to historical models and is now accessible to visitors for the first time ever – a green oasis in the built-up area of Mariahilferstrasse.

Getting in: simply present your pass at reception to be scanned for entry.
