Fanny & Felix Mendelssohn Museum, Composer museum complex in Neustadt district, Hamburg, Germany.
Description
The Fanny & Felix Mendelssohn Museum is a residence in the Neustadt district dedicated to the lives and works of the two siblings. It displays instruments, letters, musical scores, and personal objects that document their artistic development.
History
The two siblings were born in Hamburg in 1805 and 1809 and shaped the music world of the 19th century. The museum itself opened in 2018 to preserve their artistic contributions.
Culture
The house reveals how Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn grew up together in Hamburg and shaped each other's musical paths. The rooms offer a sense of how musical families lived and worked during their time.
Practical
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and works well for a half or full day visit. It is worth planning time to also explore the neighboring houses in the same complex, which are dedicated to other composers.
Did you know?
Fanny wrote over 400 songs, yet many were published under her brother's name during her lifetime or remained unpublished. The exhibition sheds light on this hidden history and acknowledges her independent artistic accomplishments.
