ausstellungmuseumstour

Haydn in private - A sonorous journey through Haydn's world An exhibition full of music, anecdotes, and culture – history comes alive at the Haydn-Haus like never before. THE PRIVATE HAYDN-HAUS Amidst historic walls, the life of the great composer Joseph Haydn awakens to new splendor. The permanent exhibition “Haydn@home” invites visitors on an impressive journey into Haydn's private rooms, which he shared with his wife Maria Anna Theresia. Colorful striped decorations and lovingly reconstructed details convey not only the taste of the 18th century but also an intimate insight into the daily life of a musical genius. Haydn's creative energy becomes tangible in this exhibition: his compositions, his inspirations, his relationships. His legendary love affairs and his musical contributions to high society are also explored. OPERA AND ORCHESTRAL SOUND Multimedia installations make his world of sound audible and palpable – especially in the extension “This is how the Haydn-Haus sounds!”, where the sound of individual orchestral instruments becomes an experience. Unique is the octet table, as are original instruments and musical scores that document his sacred musical work. One room is dedicated to opera – Haydn's rarely performed masterpieces, brought to life through interactive scenarios. The exhibition concludes with a look at the present: the lasting impact of his work on today's musicians is impressively presented. SALON CONCERTS On the last Friday of every month from April to November, atmospheric salon concerts are held in cooperation with the Joseph Haydn Private University. HERB GARDEN AND SUMMER RETREAT Those who prefer botany can discover Haydn's baroque herb garden from May to September – a quiet, green retreat full of scents and medicinal plants, with free admission. GUIDED TOURS AND FAMILY PROGRAM In addition to the exhibition, exciting themed tours for children, teenagers, and adults, as well as creative children's workshops, are offered.
