Franz Liszt Museum

The Franz Liszt Museum is a music museum housed in a historic building on Wahnfriedstraße in Bayreuth. The collection displays manuscripts, letters, and personal objects of the composer in the rooms where he lived and worked.

The building dates from the 19th century and was closely connected to Liszt's life, as he considered this city a second home. The museum was established in 1993 to preserve his memory and artistic work for future generations.

The museum displays objects from Liszt's life and his connection to Bayreuth, where he spent much of his time. Visitors can see how the composer lived and worked here, understanding his importance as a major figure in the musical world.

The museum is located in Bayreuth's city center and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors should note that opening hours vary by season, with extended hours in summer and a lunch break during the rest of the year.

The museum preserves original pianos that Liszt himself played and composed on. These instruments give visitors a direct connection to the tools that this great artist used in his work.
