Fanny & Felix Mendelssohn Museum

Fanny & Felix Mendelssohn Museum, Composer museum complex in Neustadt district, Hamburg, Germany.

The Fanny & Felix Mendelssohn Museum is a museum in the Composers Quarter of Hamburg's Neustadt district, opened on 29 May 2018 and dedicated to the composer siblings. A fortepiano stands at its centre as a symbol of the music-making to which Fanny and Felix devoted their lives. Multimedia stations, including audio recordings triggered by detection devices as visitors pass, let guests hear the music and follow how the siblings composed.

The museum opened on 29 May 2018 in the Composers Quarter of Hamburg's Neustadt district, a year later than planned because construction work delayed it. At opening, the second construction phase was not fully complete: audio points, touch pads and several display cabinets were still not ready. The limited number of original pieces was addressed when the museum was fitted out.

The museum presents Fanny and Felix as siblings who inspired each other, with their mother giving the first piano lessons before Ludwig Berger, Marie Bigot and Carl Friedrich Zelter took over their training. It also addresses the circumstances in which people of Jewish descent lived and worked within German culture of the time.

Audio recordings start when visitors pass detection devices, so walk through the rooms slowly.
