Schumann House
The Schumann House is with the museum and the salons and concerts in the Schumann House Partner of the Leipzig Card/ Leipzig Regio Card.
The benefits are described under "Good to know/price information".
The former home of the Schumann couple includes a permanent exhibition that provides information about the lives of the two famous musicians.
Welcome to the Schumanns' home - the first museum for a pair of musicians! Clara and Robert spent their happy first four years of marriage in the classicist house in Inselstraße. Here you can discover the Schumanns' time in Leipzig with all your senses:
Visitors can take a seat in the historic Schumann Hall together with Mendelssohn or make Clara's hand resonate through a sound installation. The marriage diaries written here and the jointly composed song cycle "Liebesfrühling" (Springtime of Love) guide visitors through the museum and show the couple's modernity right up to the present day.
On the occasion of Clara's 200th birthday the museum was redesigned and expanded in 2019: the exhibition curated by Dr. Beatrix Borchard, which opened on 14.09.2019 in the Schumann House is themed "Experiment Artist Marriage" and focuses for the first time on the life of an artist couple together. The museum in the Schumann House offers something very special for children - the SpielHÖRplatz, which combines nature, play and music. During the vacations, the Schumann House offers children vacation games where they can build an orchestra from everyday objects or make Clara and Robert paper dolls, for example.
A public guided tour takes place every first Sunday of the month at 14:00. But even without a guided tour, visitors can experience a faceted tour individually with the help of audioguides, also especially for visually impaired people.
Thanks to the digital offers, the Schumann House can also be experienced beyond the physical museum visit! The Augmented Reality App "Equality in Art" questions role models, marriage and family planning, especially in art, based on the marriage of Robert and Clara Schumann. The app not only looks to the past, but also draws comparisons with modern partnerships.
With the CLARO Soundwalk in the Leipzig Music Tracks app, you can discover Leipzig in the footsteps of the Schumanns. Along the most important places in the lives of the artist couple, you can learn interesting details about Clara and Robert and listen to selected compositions by the two.
A special event highlight takes place every September in the Schumann House and many other Leipzig music venues: The festival CON SPIRITO presents the stars of the international chamber music scene every fall.
