Mozart's Birthplace

Mozarts Geburtshaus

Mozart's Birthplace is the museum in the house at Getreidegasse 9 in Salzburg where Wolfgang Amadé Mozart was born in 1756, run by the International Mozarteum Foundation.

Why go

This record is the museum in the house where Mozart was born on 27 January 1756, run by the International Mozarteum Foundation; it is not Mozart's Residence on Makartplatz, the foundation's other museum. The foundation says the three-storey exhibition covers Mozart's domestic circumstances, his early music-making, his friends and patrons, his family and his passion for opera. The foundation's page says tickets are sold online or at the museum box office, that a combined ticket for the Birthplace and the Residence is valid for 48 hours from validation, and that admission does not include a guided tour. The foundation warns that online tickets are sold only through its official webshop and that tickets bought from third-party providers are not accepted.
