Bach Museum
The benefits are described under "Good to know/ Price information".
The sounding and interactive museum provides deep insights into the life and work of Johann Sebastian Bach and his family.
Johann Sebastian Bach was Thomaskantor in Leipzig for 27 years. With the St. Thomas Choir, he shaped the music in the city churches, "on the side" he composed works such as the Christmas Oratorio, the St. Matthew Passion or the Mass in B minor, for which he is still world-famous today.
There is a lot to hear and see at the Bach Museum. Precious originals can be admired and you can become active yourself: for example in the interactive composing room or the virtual orchestra. A walk-through city map with scenic 3D audio plays invites you to take part in a rehearsal of the St. Matthew Passion or listen in on conversations with his wife Anna Magdalena. A sounding family tree provides insights into his large family of musicians. At audio stations, 33 women of the family talk about their lives - from Bach's mother to his great-granddaughters.
The Bach Archive and the associated Bach Museum are located in a baroque merchant's house directly opposite St. Thomas Church, known as the Bosehaus. Friends and neighbors of the Bach family once lived here. The museum offers a rich program of events throughout the year with special exhibitions, guided tours, open days and concerts.
You can also find out more about Johann Sebastian Bach and the Bach Museum in the podcast "Willkommen in Leipzig".
The free "Bach-Museum Leipzig" app guides you through the museum in eleven languages and in three accessible versions.
