Outstanding! - Beautiful house of music. We made the tickets on the spot as a period of low attendance. Very comfortable lockers are available at the entrance to leave jackets and backpacks. It's also interesting with kids and teens. There are many interactive and 3D activities that make this museum truly unique. Among other things, you can create your own melody with imaginary dice, play the stairs of the building and conduct the philharmonic. Also to consider the very convenient opening hours. The guys had a great time!

Great surprise. Great Masters of Music - I loved it. Fantastic. Surprised. I walked through the door and entered because it was snowing, while it was a little hot I decided to enter and the surprise was huge. The story of the great Mozart composers. Beethoven among others. At the same time an interesting interaction with multimedia surprises. Really fantastic. I loved it. Congratulations.

We'll do it again on the fly - It's a must. If you are in Vienna with the children it must be seen. Very interactive.. They flew 2 and a half hours without heaviness and fatigue. They also sell tickets combined with Mozart's House.

Open to 10pm , use it to maximise the day. - This museum is located in the historic centre and the fact that it stays open until 10pm makes it a great way to maximise the day and do towards the end of the day when other places are closing. The focus is classical music. I wanted to learn more about the great classical composers thus the floor dedicated to the life of Beethoven, Mahler etc were very interesting to me. I got sucked into the computer screens with different menus with different parts of their biography’s. It was evident how much effort has been put in to make it interactive and interesting, e.g you can compose your own waltz, have Mozart mirror your movements and modern technology is used eg the black and white photos of the Strauss family use AI to make them ‘come alive’ and move. The other floors have displays related to sound and how it works. There are many interactive activities eg You can create your own tonal shape called a clong then relax in the chairs watching it move across the ceiling. . For last I saved watching the recording of the last New Yesrs concert by the Vienna Philharmonic, that takes an hour. All in I was there 4 hours: I had a go at all activities even those intended for children and read most things about the composer’s history. If you are not so into classical music it would take you less time. Great place for - those interested in classical music who want to learn more about the lives of the famous composers Combe ted to Vienna. - Occupying children.

Great Way to Finish a Day - Haus der Music (House of Music) was our last stop during a self-guided walking tour of Vienna. It has a good collection of artifacts from famous classical musicians and composers for their famous orchestra. They also have a ton of interactive exhibits that make it perfect for families, date nights or anyone that has an interest in music. The Haus der Music has exhibits across several floors and there is an elevator and plenty of spaces to sit so it remains fairly accessible. We started on the orchestra floor which has personal belongings of the orchestra's most significant composers. A highlight for us was watching the video of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and their New Year's Eve Concert - Probably won't be able to go to a real one but felt this was the next best thing. The next floor has a lot of interactive exhibits where you can see sound, understand the hearing range for different species and even create your own sound creatures. It was interesting enough but we didn't spend a whole lot of time here. We spent a lot of time on the third floor which has exhibitions for some of the most famous classical composers like Haydn, Mozart and Strauss. I enjoyed sitting and reading to learn more about these composers. My wife is more musically inclined then I am and really enjoyed this whole museum so it was perfect for her. The last floor has an area where you can "conduct" the philharmonic orchestra and an interesting sound room with hundreds of drawers. The cost to enter is 17 Euros and they have discounted rates including 13 Euros for students. They host special music exhibitions including concerts in their entrance hall and they have a good gift shop with affordable souvenirs. They are pretty centrally located in Vienna and are close to popular tourist areas including sites like the Vienna Opera House, Annakirche, and Stadtpark. There is a lot to see and do nearby as well as many good restaurants, cafes and shops.

Very nice museum - Very nicely designed museum dedicated to different composers of the Viennese classical, the Vienna Philharmonic and the physics of sound. There are several ways to interact, which is why the museum is also worthwhile with children.

Visit Vienna Music House - An extremely interesting and also fun visit. The staircase with its note steps... the great idea! Invite you to go up and down and listen to your own steps. Try conducting the Vienna Symphony with Mozart's 42nd Symphony. If one loves music the visit is unmissable

Fun for everyone - The museum is divided into different floors. The first one is more like a typical museum. There are old letters, facts and figures, old artifacts,… The second is more immersive. You learn about sound and get to try a lot of things yourselves. Then there is a whole part dedicated to different Austrian composers. You learn about their work and life. Also a bit more like a typical museum. You end with an opportunity to conduct the wiener philharmonic yourself. We were six adults and had a good time. We have no kids ourselves, but there were several kids running around and having fun. So definitely something you can do with the whole family.

If you have a spare hour to spare on a rainy day - Good for 1 hour on a rainy day should be called the classical house as the only music is classic and mostly stuff to read a coupld of things that did not work properly we had to work out how to throw the dice, as it was all in german as for other interactive things they were not working or there was lines , so an hour for 4 floors was plenty maybe have one floor for each genre of music would be better
