Interesting and entertaining. However, I would have wished for more audio samples on the level of the great composers. For example, an auditory catalog raisonné per composer, so that you can get an overall impression of his music. So you had a lot of information to read about biography and life and by the third or fourth composer at the latest, you started to mix up all the data and facts and at some point you got tired of reading. But just the works that you don't necessarily hear in big concerts, such as chamber music works or instrumental pieces, practice pieces, songs and other unknown compositions, would be a reason for me to visit the "House of Music" more than once.

As an expressive arts teacher I absolutely loved this museum - I wish we had something like this in Dundee! The interactive exhibits were superb and the museum has lots to offer adults as well as children. There were some local children at the museum with their teacher on the day of my visit and p,entry of enjoyable activities for them to participate in. The museum has 4 floors, each with a different musical focus, from famous Austrian composers through the ages, an interactive activity conducting a Viennese orchestra, the science behind sound and musical instruments, and many other exhibits. I spent over 4 hours in the museum and didn’t even notice the time passing! Well worth a visit.

Our family really enjoyed the Haus der Musik. Many interactive exhibits, as well as a wide variety of musical knowledge to impart, made for a fun few hours in Vienna. Each floor has a different musical theme and there’s more information there than we could digest in an afternoon. Highly recommend for families and all music lovers.
