Mozart Residence
A visit to Mozart’s Residence takes about one hour and a half.
Mozart’s Residence is accessible to wheelchairs via the Theatergasse entrance. Please ask at our cash desk for support.
Mozart’s Residence was reconstructed after being partly destroyed during World War II and was re-opened to the public in 1996. The biographies of the family members and the authentic impressions of everyday family life fill the house with their spirit to this day and allow visitors to experience Mozart anew. In the historic Dancing Masters’s Hall Mozart’s original instruments are on display.

In the autograph vault in the basement of the Mozart Residence, the Mozart Foundation holds its most valuable holdings: more than half of all known documents associated with the family, including around 200 of Mozart’s original letters (he himself is the main contributor to 150 of these and one of multiple contributors in the case of the other fifty), around 300 letters written by his father Leopold and more than 100 autograph music manuscripts, most of them sketches and drafts of Mozart’s works in addition to autographs in the hand of Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart. The collection also includes scores, letters and other documents relating to numerous other figures from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries. We are working hard to catalogue these holdings as part of various ongoing projects.
The autograph vault may be visited only in form of special guided tours.
