Dům Gustava Mahlera

Dům Gustava Mahlera is a museum and cultural monument in Jihlava dedicated to the life and work of the famous composer. The exhibitions display photographs, documents, and objects that illustrate Mahler's musical development and his connection to this city.

Mahler was born in Jihlava in 1860 and spent his formative years there before later conducting opera houses across Europe. The house was converted into a museum in 2008 to preserve memories of his origins and artistic development.

The house reflects the diversity that shaped Jihlava during Mahler's time, with Czech, German, and Jewish communities living side by side and influencing the city's cultural life. Visitors can trace these connections through the exhibitions and see how such differences touched the young composer.

Visitors can join guided tours with audio guides available in multiple languages, allowing you to explore the exhibition at your own pace. Educational programs are available for school groups and music enthusiasts alike, tailored to different audience levels.

The museum features digital exhibition routes that guide visitors through different phases of Mahler's life using interactive historical reconstructions. This approach connects his past life to today and makes complex biographical details accessible to everyone.
