The Feast For The Famous Mozart

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is perhaps the most famous and most highly respected Austrian of all era. This musical pro was born in Salzburg in 1756 and today, two hundred and fifty years later, Austria is celebrating the life and pieces of Mozart with a year-long party. So, if you are a cultural art aficionado like myself, this is definitely the year to holiday in Austria!

My day visit, of course, basically included a first-hand view of the one thousand square-meter huge Mozarthaus Vienna.

Dom Gasse No. 5 is the address of the only surviving Mozart residence, although the Austrian wonder lived in various parts all-around Vienna. The master composer was known to
have lived in this place between 1784 and 1787 in grand style, although in many ways, the apartment is quite a typical home, featuring 4 large rooms, 2 smaller rooms and a kitchen.

Now converted into a museum, the site devotes all of its 6 floors to Mozart presentations. The first floor features Mozart's apartment and a Mozart shop. The second floor features the exhibition entitled, 'Mozart the musical genius.' The third floor illustrates the different areas of Mozart's life in Vienna.

To get in, one needs to pay 9 Euros, but I personally presume that it is well worth it. The Mozarthaus is one great way to get a glimpse into the musical genius' world.
