Birth house of Johann Nepomuk Hummel

The birth house of Johann Nepomuk Hummel is a classical mansion in central Bratislava that preserves the rooms of a significant composer and pianist. The exhibition displays his musical instruments, handwritten scores, and items from his daily life.

The house dates from the 17th century and was once a wealthy residential building in the city. It was converted into a museum in 1937 to honor one of the most prominent Austrian composers of his time.
