We thought this was the BEST site during the entire week we spent in Vienna. Constructed in such a way that adults, children, music lover and haters all found something, we are thinking about revisiting Vienna just to take our grandchildren here! If you are a knowlege-based museum goer there was plenty of written, historical, scientific information to soak in. If you are the push-button/interactive type visitor, those types of exhibitions were mind-boggling.

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.
