As a history and classical music lover, this place was on my wish list of what to see in Leipzig. My friend who lives in Leipzig told me it's a really nice fun place and that she went there there at least two times before. Well, she wasn't lying. First impression was a beautiful serene atmosphere, two very kind cashiers who perfectly answered all our questions and well functioning lockers for backpacks. The ground floor was a place for rather interesting conducting simulator which we all really enjoyed and then we went to the upper floors. The whole museum is beautifuly interactive, full of drawers with exhibited objects inside so they don't disturb the authenticity of Felix's floor. One can see there his death mask, replicas of his and his wife's clothes, his painting, a lock of his hair and even take three recipes that Felix himself liked to eat. Then there is Fanny's floor which is slightly more dreamy. It again shows some of the objects she used, a room witha wall full of her compositions a very cute room with a short movie about her life which is really well and beautifuly done and probably a high-light of the whole museum (at least for us silly girls), a room with the Biedermeier clothes which you can take on, then take a picture through a special camera and then download the picture for free on your phone. Well, long Story short, it's a beautiful interesting place with amazing calming atmosphere. Can only recommend.

Liebevoll und authentisch. Von außen unscheinbar, aber...

Molto bello, ben organizzato, con spazi interattivi in cui si può simulare una direzione d'orchestra e ascoltare la musica...Ne vale senz'altro la pena!
