We visited the museum in May 2023 as a family with a 3 year old daughter and enjoyed it a lot. Although not too big, it is very well thought with plenty of interesting things and interactive activities both for adults and children. We had a great time, it would be great if all major cities had original museums suitable for the entire family.

If you are a classical music fan you will enjoy and long visit to learn more about composers, their lives, their accomplishments and their struggles. Even if you are not a classical music fan, you will enjoy the presentation of musical history and the musical steps are a huge hit with children of all ages.

As a classical music lover this visit was a must for me. I have learned a lot about music, the cience of sound and my favorite composers. The section on Beethoven, Schubert and Mahler were really inspiring for me and even I already knew a lot before the visit, I still learned many new details about their life and their life in Vienna

We choose this specifically because of the interactivity and fun-looking installations/exhibits and it did not disappoint. Neither of us are huge classical music fans, but the experience is a fantastic look through the history of great Viennense composers through to the the modern Philharmonic. The museum is go at your own pace, which is great because some exhibits/interactions can take some time and a line may form, but there is always something nearby you can engage with to pass time until your turn. I think my favorite part is being able to "conduct" the Vienna Philharmonic with a baton and have them play to your tempo - whether correct or not. Conducting the CanCan a bit too fast defintely made me feel like Bugs Bunny.

Wrapped up our second day in Vienna at the Haus Der Musik. Having read about it in advance, we were prepared to have fun stepping on the piano staircase, playing the waltz dice game, testing the physics of sound and being a virtual conductor. We were very grateful for the help from the children guests - they taught us how to play the virtual dice for the waltz game and the virtual conductor - all without us speaking German and the children not speaking English.

This museum had a ton of fun interactive exhibitions, including being able to “conduct” an orchestra (note: it doesn’t seem to accept actual conducting, just waving the baton around wildly)

Absolutely incredible. Such a fun experience which touched on the physics, history and all the rest regarding music. It was incredibly fun and interactive and it was such a unique experience. I would definitely reccomend it.

We were only in Vienna for a few days and we chose this museum out of all of the others. We are glad we did! I had read that this is "small" Museum that will take a few hours, but my husband and I both felt you could easily spend 4-5 hours here. The museum holds a mix of the history of the five superstar classical composers (each having their own biographical room. You could easily spend over an hour in each room because the rooms are dense with text in addition to having technology exhibits which tell their stories in more detail. In addition to the focus of composers, there is a floor dedicated the the history of the Vienna orchestra, and this included time during the great war. The museum also housed a good chunk of information dedicated to the science of music and sound, and these spaces were more tactile and experiential - really fun! While my husband is less of a music lover compared to me, we equally enjoyed the experience if you enjoy history and have a good interest in reading in general. We did not get to read everything during our 3 hours there, and both of us agreed we could go back easily.

Excellent museum, well worth the entrance fee. Four floors of interactive exhibits, spanning from reverent and historically accurate handling of the great composers, to high-tech VR experience with sound creation - not to mention the chance to conduct the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra! Top recommendation.

What can I say, just a wonderful experience with a small room with seating dedicated to the maestros music playing, about 20 seats and floor space
