Haus der Musik
The House of Music is an interactive, high-tech discovery museum
devoted to music and is located in the former Palais of Archduke
Charles. Four floors take visitors past the music and memorabilia
of the great composers who lived in Vienna, such as Mozart,
Beethoven, Brahms and Schubert; discover the top musicians of
today; and explore the future of music on computers. Conduct an
orchestra, listen to what an unborn child hears in the womb or
paint a musical picture. The museum was awarded top prize for its
innovative design and allows visitors to experience music using the
senses of sight, sound, touch and hearing.
