Vienna House Of Music Entrance Ticket

This is a fantastic museum. We loved that they had evening hours. The museum is very interactive and kept my teen’s attention. We also learned a lot about sound, music, and history. Each floor had unique surprises, culminating in the chance to conduct your own orchestra. Highly recommend for music and history lovers.

In my opinion Haus der Musik is a must visit! We only had 24 hrs in Vienna but knew we had to do all we could to learn and connect more to its incredible music/history. Cannot recommend this enough. Very engaging, many floors to explore and great for kids too(our kid age 10 had so much fun)! They have a fun kids book you can purchase for 2 euro with questions and things to find etc. I wish we had more time to spend here and will certainly be back if we visit Vienna again.

Was a bit disappointing. Not many activities. Interesting conducting experience and Mozart room with interactive melody creation. And unfortunately, that's all.

If you’re a small child with absolutely no knowledge of music, I’m sure this is an enlightening and engaging experience. Vienna is an expensive city (even for university students despite various discounts), and my money truly should have been spent elsewhere. I would probably come back here as a parent to introduce someone to Viennese composers, but the other exhibitions on what music a frugally is and how it is built came up very short. The games are fun, but again, clearly were designed for children.

The museum is divided into different floors. The first one is more like a typical museum. There are old letters, facts and figures, old artifacts,… The second is more immersive. You learn about sound and get to try a lot of things yourselves. Then there is a whole part dedicated to different Austrian composers. You learn about their work and life. Also a bit more like a typical museum. You end with an opportunity to conduct the wiener philharmonic yourself. We were six adults and had a good time. We have no kids ourselves, but there were several kids running around and having fun. So definitely something you can do with the whole family.

This museum is located in the historic centre and the fact that it stays open until 10pm makes it a great way to maximise the day and do towards the end of the day when other places are closing. The focus is classical music. I wanted to learn more about the great classical composers thus the floor dedicated to the life of Beethoven, Mahler etc were very interesting to me. I got sucked into the computer screens with different menus with different parts of their biography’s. It was evident how much effort has been put in to make it interactive and interesting, e.g you can compose your own waltz, have Mozart mirror your movements and modern technology is used eg the black and white photos of the Strauss family use AI to make them ‘come alive’ and move. The other floors have displays related to sound and how it works. There are many interactive activities eg You can create your own tonal shape called a clong then relax in the chairs watching it move across the ceiling. . For last I saved watching the recording of the last New Yesrs concert by the Vienna Philharmonic, that takes an hour. All in I was there 4 hours: I had a go at all activities even those intended for children and read most things about the composer’s history. If you are not so into classical music it would take you less time. Great place for - those interested in classical music who want to learn more about the lives of the famous composers Combe ted to Vienna. - Occupying children.

Haus der Music (House of Music) was our last stop during a self-guided walking tour of Vienna. It has a good collection of artifacts from famous classical musicians and composers for their famous orchestra. They also have a ton of interactive exhibits that make it perfect for families, date nights or anyone that has an interest in music. The Haus der Music has exhibits across several floors and there is an elevator and plenty of spaces to sit so it remains fairly accessible. We started on the orchestra floor which has personal belongings of the orchestra's most significant composers. A highlight for us was watching the video of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and their New Year's Eve Concert - Probably won't be able to go to a real one but felt this was the next best thing. The next floor has a lot of interactive exhibits where you can see sound, understand the hearing range for different species and even create your own sound creatures. It was interesting enough but we didn't spend a whole lot of time here. We spent a lot of time on the third floor which has exhibitions for some of the most famous classical composers like Haydn, Mozart and Strauss. I enjoyed sitting and reading to learn more about these composers. My wife is more musically inclined then I am and really enjoyed this whole museum so it was perfect for her. The last floor has an area where you can "conduct" the philharmonic orchestra and an interesting sound room with hundreds of drawers. The cost to enter is 17 Euros and they have discounted rates including 13 Euros for students. They host special music exhibitions including concerts in their entrance hall and they have a good gift shop with affordable souvenirs. They are pretty centrally located in Vienna and are close to popular tourist areas including sites like the Vienna Opera House, Annakirche, and Stadtpark. There is a lot to see and do nearby as well as many good restaurants, cafes and shops.

Good for 1 hour on a rainy day should be called the classical house as the only music is classic and mostly stuff to read a coupld of things that did not work properly we had to work out how to throw the dice, as it was all in german as for other interactive things they were not working or there was lines , so an hour for 4 floors was plenty maybe have one floor for each genre of music would be better

You can read about all the composers lives. It is a very complete museum. Take your time to walk through each room.

This is a lovely interactive museum about music in general especially the composers who lived or performed in Vienna: Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert, Mahler and Strauß. It was so much fun and my kids loved it too. This is a great destination for those travelling with kids.

The Haus der Musik manages to present a very interesting and compelling experience despite not having a huge collection of items. It was an innovative take on music, and a very enjoyable museum to visit.

An excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in sound and music. With many interactive aspects this venue is good for all ages and you don't need to be a classical music super fan. There's the opportunity to create a waltz, to compare sounds and how we respond. You can even have a go at conducting the Vienna Philharmonic. Whilst it suggests 60-90 minutes for a visit you can spend a lot longer, especially if you are into classical music and composers.

We came here on a wet day,inside,situated in the heart of vienna,as ,nearly all museums in Vienna are expensive,we decided to do two museums,getting another thrown in for one price,30 euros for this and the MOZART HAUS ,for both of us. WE spent 4 hours here,reading descriptions of all the displays,interacting with the hands on items,something for all lovers of sound and music. Immaculate toilets,wash facilites. There are lifts for ,each level or stairs in a period building,well worth half a day here, and then on to Mozarts house.,for another 3 hours.

Interaktive experience, very informative and exciting. I liked the rooms of the GOAT composers, it felt like a time capsule with their music style playing Very friendly staff in the reception and in the gift shop. Central location

Probably the best museum experience ever. It is an absolute must for any music lover and covers lots of interesting facts about composers but also hands on experience of musical sounds and sound waves making it a suitable experience for people of all ages. I could have spent the whole day there!

Wonderful museum. The service in the gurdarobe very unpleasant , they are completely unpolite and did not help us, In particular the band man

We visited this museum with our two teenagers, and everyone found something they enjoyed. We learned a little about music, its history, and its composers, and we enjoyed several different interactive exhibits. One son most loved conducting a virtual orchestra (they respond to your baton waving), and the other enjoyed the piano notes on the stairs. We also got to experience playing around to compose our own waltz, and close-up information about multiple famous composers and their works. We spent close to two hours here and enjoyed our time. It is also nice that this museum is open relatively late (until 10 PM the day we visited) so you can see it later in the day, when many other things are already closed.

The staff is horrible , the one behind the cashier humilated me infront of my kids because i send give my phone that was charging in their desk as if i am a kid telling me you have to say please in an aggressive rude and inappropriate way and when i said that i'll report that he said he don't mind atall and wanted to give me the email as if he don't care, how come a Museum hire people treating tourists like that

The museum makes a huge effort to be immersive and offers some fun activities, like the piano shaped staircase, the waltz dice game and the chance to simulate conducting the Wiener Philarmoniker on the top floor. I had a nice hour and a half overall, but I can't say to have learnt anything new, except for a few juicy trivia about composers (like the fact that Beethoven loved pasta!). Maybe someone who didn't have a musical education like me might get more out of it. In my opinion it's a cool museum, but by no means a must in Vienna.

Really really great place for the whole family! Not too large but with great variety of interactive presentations of sound and music. The children can create sounds and music through motion, listen to various musical instruments and even conduct an orchstra with Zubin Mehta! When visiting this museum you can really get the imprerssion on how significant music was - and maybe still is - in Vienna. The museum's shop is also charming and you can purchase lots of cool souvenirs and items related to music there. The museum is conveniently located near Karlplatz. You just have to go straight towards Stephansplatz and it's one of the first streets on the right.

This museum has something for everyone. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and think it was our favourite museum in the whole of Vienna. It is very interactive for children to get involved in and I would definitely recommend going, just to experience conducting an orchestra! Definitely worth the money and a visit.

The Haus der Musik (House of Music) in Vienna offers a unique, interactive experience that's perfect for anyone interested in exploring music and sound. Visitors can immerse themselves in creative exhibits, like conducting a virtual orchestra—a highlight that allows you to step into the conductor's role and interact with digital musicians. However, it’s best to visit during quieter times, as the sound-based displays can overlap and detract from each other if the museum is busy. The staircase keyboard leading up to the first floor is a fun touch, setting a playful and interactive tone right from the start. Each floor offers new perspectives on sound, from the science of hearing to playful, musical installations that are suitable for all ages. If you’re interested in an in-depth experience, try to arrive when the museum opens or visit on a weekday for a more relaxed pace.

This museum includes exhibits and history regarding to some of the greatest composers. The most fun part was conducting a computer-driven orchestra using a baton

We had a fun and educational two hours here. The museum is interactive and well described in English. It is definitely family friendly. Our highlight was the opportunity to conduct the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Hah!

Very good presentation of Vienna's contribution to the world of music. Some interactive exhibits. We did not find it as engaging as we had hoped.

Haus der Musik is well worth a visit if you’re in Vienna, regardless of age or musical experience. There are plenty of interactive elements such as the piano stairs on the way to the first floor, a sit-down concert experience (Vienna Philharmonic), and an excellent sound exploration area which I found really fascinating. Take your time to explore each floor (I think there were around 4 floors), should be a good few hours.

We found this museum because my father remembered visiting a very impressive music museum/hall the last time he was in Vienna. This was not the same place haha. But we still gave it a go. The first part of the exhibition was not really interesting for me. It had a small theatre playing videos of an orchestra, information about some maestros, a wax figure of a composer I didn’t know and an interactive game that was cute but hard to control. The following part also felt very mixed; it had random facts about music and sound, as well as replicas of very bid instruments and a projection of something galaxy-inspired that didn’t really fit the aesthetic/vibe of the rest of the museum. The top floor, however, was actually pretty good as it was about the world’s most important classical music composers. Each one had its own room, with its corresponding story, pieces and aesthetic. I really liked this area! It is very complete and interactive, while also being brief and enjoyable. In general, this is not a bad museum. It seems to be a bit kid-oriented and needs to feel more cohesive. I think it is a bit expensive for what you get, but it’s not bad.

Our family enjoyed our time in Haus der Musik. There was lots of information, lots of interaction - and we also loved the science behind sound portion of the museum. It was fun to learn more about the composers and I thought those rooms were very fun and immersive. So fun!

I went to Haus der Musik this morning as it was raining and one of the best parts was sitting in the theatre watching and listening to the Wiener Philharmoniker but that was right at the start on the first floor and I didn’t know how long I would need for the other 3 floors so after 2 pieces I kept going. Some parts are less interesting than others. On the second floor if you already know about sound, you can move through quickly. The third floor took the longest as there was a section for each composer and if you wanted to read the screen about their life (only 2 per room), be aware there are many pages but the touch screens don’t work that well. On the fourth floor you can conduct the Wiener Philharmoniker virtually to one of a few pieces - I did The Blue Danube and it’s quite hard work actually but fun. Note there is a second set up after the first one so you don’t have to queue all that first one. There is then a souvenir shop before exiting. It’s not absolutely amazing but if you’re looking for something to do for a couple of hours and you are interested in the Viennese classics, it’s not a bad way to spend some time. I’m glad I went but it’s not a must do activity.

Such an exquisite, educating, and entertaining visit. Highly enjoyed finding out how some animals hear sounds, conducting Radetzky march digitally, creating your own sound creature, and getting to know the great composers more through "audio-detailed" atmosphere.

It’s hard to think of a more fun way to learn about classical music - Viennese classical music in particular - than this. Both parents and kids had a great old time here - not that easy with a six-year-old who demands to be entertained every minute. From the musical staircase to the chance to compose your own symphony using VR dice to the strange creatures making music (no, not in that way) after you create them to conducting a symphony orchestra, we spent close to two hours here without hardly noticing. Alongside all the interactive exhibits are the more usual museum pieces and plenty of information about the many conductors who called Vienna home. A really great place to visit. Our daughter has been humming classical music tunes ever since.

Nothing to see, nothing to do. Doesn’t worth the cost of tickets( we were disappointed about visiting this place( not recommend

I visited with my 10 year old & we both had a fun & interesting visit. There is a wide mix of exhibits, with several that are hands on that are probably intended for kids but I enjoyed also. We left feeling more cultured & with a new appreciation for classical music.

Spacious museum with interactive elements, which are a very pleasent alternation with written text. If you are vacationing with children this is a must see. Make sure you have enough time, because the musuem has much to offer and you can wander here for hours without becoming bored.

A very fun and educational interactive museum not only about music but also about sound itself. Children would surely be very interesting even more than adults. Conducting the Vienna Philharmonic and being advised by Zubin Mehta himself on how to do it is super fun. You can pay something small and get a certificate for it.

Very enjoyable tour. Enjoyed the interactive immersive experiences. Learned more about the composer.

Wow! It’s amazing! Loved it, my 10 year old loved it also . We spent around 3 hours in there visiting everything and doing all the activities . Even we enjoyed it very much as adults .

Wonderful interactive experience for all ages - I had as much fun on musical stairs as kids did! When creating music, you were given the option of purchasing a print out on your way out. Conducting the orchestra was worth waiting for and would likely be a big hit with the younger set. Informative and well organized, well worth a visit.

This place was phenomenal, a real hidden gem. We were on a tour with a very well informed guide, and no one had ever heard of this place. We made our way on our own and were absolutely amazed. Lots of hands on things to do related to sound and music, as well as very informative exhibits. Well worth a visit. Suitable for all ages and musical tastes.

A fun museum where you can learn all about the science of sound, different instruments and famous classical composers. There’s fun interactive elements that both kids and adults can enjoy, the virtual composer part is really fun, would recommend

A great place. The orchestra conducting experience is really fun, and altogether it's worth it (used a Vienna pass for it).

Great place to explore, learn, and enjoy. Lots of history to read and experience, especially composers. And the interactive rooms were fabulous: even the one where you can be the conductor! We did not know what to expect and we were totally thrilled with the experience and with the staff. And this was the least costly of all of our experiences. Go and enjoy.

We visited the Vienna House of Music, which was fun and very informative for kids and adults. Would recommend everybody to visit in Vienna.

A hidden prize. We loved our trip there. So much to do, and a great visit with our 5 year old. Loved the coat check so we could leave our stuff and travel unencumbered

We visited the museum in May 2023 as a family with a 3 year old daughter and enjoyed it a lot. Although not too big, it is very well thought with plenty of interesting things and interactive activities both for adults and children. We had a great time, it would be great if all major cities had original museums suitable for the entire family.

If you are a classical music fan you will enjoy and long visit to learn more about composers, their lives, their accomplishments and their struggles. Even if you are not a classical music fan, you will enjoy the presentation of musical history and the musical steps are a huge hit with children of all ages.

As a classical music lover this visit was a must for me. I have learned a lot about music, the cience of sound and my favorite composers. The section on Beethoven, Schubert and Mahler were really inspiring for me and even I already knew a lot before the visit, I still learned many new details about their life and their life in Vienna

We choose this specifically because of the interactivity and fun-looking installations/exhibits and it did not disappoint. Neither of us are huge classical music fans, but the experience is a fantastic look through the history of great Viennense composers through to the the modern Philharmonic. The museum is go at your own pace, which is great because some exhibits/interactions can take some time and a line may form, but there is always something nearby you can engage with to pass time until your turn. I think my favorite part is being able to "conduct" the Vienna Philharmonic with a baton and have them play to your tempo - whether correct or not. Conducting the CanCan a bit too fast defintely made me feel like Bugs Bunny.

Wrapped up our second day in Vienna at the Haus Der Musik. Having read about it in advance, we were prepared to have fun stepping on the piano staircase, playing the waltz dice game, testing the physics of sound and being a virtual conductor. We were very grateful for the help from the children guests - they taught us how to play the virtual dice for the waltz game and the virtual conductor - all without us speaking German and the children not speaking English.
