The House of Music in Vienna

Haus der Musik is an interactive sound museum which provides a new approach to music on a playful as well as scientific level. For years the aim has been to provide knowledge and understanding as well as open-mindedness and enthusiasm when dealing with music. Since its opening in 2000, Haus der Musik has welcomed over 3 million visitors. After it opened its doors to the public, Maestro Zubin Mehta assumed HAUS DER MUSIK’s honorary chairmanship. What inspired him to do so was the cheerful and direct presentation of the musical material that brings people with a wide range of music tastes together, gets them talking, grabs their interest and counteracts any preconceived notions associated with encountering music from an intellectual and musicological point of view.
