Mozarthaus Vienna, Biographical museum near St Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, Austria.
Mozarthaus Vienna is a biographical museum in the inner city that spans three exhibition floors. The building holds letters, manuscripts, personal objects, and documents that show Mozart's life and work.
Mozart lived in this apartment from 1784 to 1787 and created some of his most famous works here, including The Marriage of Figaro. These years marked the peak of his artistic output.
The building is known as the Figaro House after The Marriage of Figaro, which Mozart composed here. The second floor traces his collaboration with librettist Lorenzo da Ponte on Figaro and Don Giovanni, and a media installation, the Figaro Parallelo, compares Figaro productions from leading opera houses. The third floor examines his social life: balls, gambling, fashion and Freemasonry.
The museum is located at Domgasse 5, within walking distance of public transportation and other central landmarks. Plan about two hours to explore the exhibitions at a comfortable pace.
This is the only surviving Mozart residence in Vienna, with original rooms still visible today. The location offers a rare view of the everyday surroundings of one of history's greatest composers.
