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!

Such a lovely and unique experience. We were unsure but so glad we visited ! Very interactive and amusing stations, conducting the Philharmonic was amazing. Walked out of there humming the symphonies :)

Really good interactive museum. Had so much fun starting with walking up the musical stairs and later virtually conducting the Vienna Philharmonic! For musical history buffs there was a section with a whole room devoted to each composer with a link to Vienna. My non-musical partner enjoyed it as much as I did.

This museum was a big surprise for me. Absolutely amazingly presented theme of the music! At the entrance, there is a staircase, part of which is a keyboard, so when you walk up it, the individual keys make sounds. The museum is not only full of exhibits related to the greats of classical music, but there are also many interactive elements. The automaton will compose W.A. Mozart-style music for you based on your name. By rolling virtual dice, you "compose" your own waltz. You can try conducting the Vienna Philharmonic. You can even take home recipes of Ludwig van Beethoven's favorite dishes.

We were there on a quiet day and did not have to wait long for any of the interactive activities. The musical staircase was great, conducting the symphony well done but “writing” your own score took a bit of figuring out. You roll each of 4 dice 4 times until you get a check mark for each one. Then the activity will play your composition for you. It will be numbered and you have the option of purchasing the resultant sheet music before you leave. There was another opportunity to purchase the music you created a little later on. The displays were beautifully done and held the interest of young and old alike

I have been in Vienna for four days and have been fighting huge crowds at every tourist attraction. Someone suggested that I go to The House of Music. This museum is conveniently located close to city center and is housed in an older building, but the interior is refurbished in very modern style. The displays are very interesting and show memorabilia of the Vienna Symphony and the maestros who led it. There are also individual displays of Austrian composers such as Haydn and Mozart. This is a great place to take children as there are many interactive educational displays.

We were so impressed by Haus der Musik. It’s really well laid out with lots of interesting stuff there, and having so many interactive exhibits was brilliant. We came on a midweek morning and it wasn’t too busy through most of the rooms. The one place we expected to be packed (the conducting experience on the top floor) was actually empty so we managed to spend loads of time there and between us conducted all of the different song options - so much fun! Would 100% recommend as a must see in the city.

The Haus der Musik focuses mainly on the city Orchestra and its various composers. There are many interesting facts displayed alongside historic items as well as many interactive activities for the kids.

The Haus der Musik is well worth a visit. It is not a big museum but should definitely be on your itinerary if you visit Vienna. Vienna has a rich music history which is well exhibited in this museum. The museum also has interactive exhibits about the physics of sound and perception. The highlight for me was the virtual orchestra where you can have a virtual go at conducting the Vienna Philharmonic.

Definitely a visit to include in your plan, if you like music. Well adapted also to kids and teenagers, thanks to the high interactivity, especially on the second floor, devoted to the physics of sound. The third floor is a bit more knowledge based, with the life and works of several great composers. Finally, in the last floor you can (try to) conduct the orchestra, not easy at all, but fun guaranteed.

4 flights full of knowledge and activities all about music. Lovely museum and especially enjoyable for children. Not far from the center and open till 22:00 at night!

The Haus see Music is really AMAZING!!!! It has the whole history of music and many activities that you can do inside it! I really really love it's souvenir shop !!! It has so many things to buy there! Everytime I go there it is a must go!! If you are a music lover you HAVE TO go there!

I went to an evening concert here. I bought a ticket of 42 euros, expecting a concert in a beautiful room like you expect if you pay that amount. Instead we sat on wooden chairs in a simple room. The musicians were quite young (except for the male singer), and though they were adequate they didn’t sound like more experienced musicians.

Visited with my son, who is a university music student. The lower of the two floors is devoted to the physics of sound and music, with loads of interactive stations, and also has a section about the history of the Vienna Philharmonic. The upper floor is less interactive, being mainly devoted to the history of the famous composers who called Vienna their home, including Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Mahler. There is also an interactive conducting room, where you can try to conduct the Vienna Philharmonic

I found this small "museum" somewhat disappointing. The kiddies seem to enjoy it more, engaging with the interactive displays on the lower floors. The third floor has three rooms for composers: one each for Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. They were somewhat sketchy biographies given about each composer. Not much depth, I must say.
