With its permanent exhibition, the museum provides a deep insight into the life and work of Johann Sebastian Bach in Leipzig.

The Bach Archive with the associated Bach Museum is located in the Bosehaus. The building is considered one of the most important Renaissance buildings in Leipzig. At the same time, it is one of the oldest surviving buildings on the south side of St. Thomas' Church courtyard. The 450 m² permanent exhibition provides an insight into the world of St. Thomas's Cantor and Music Director Johann Sebastian Bach with valuable instruments, documents and works of art. 

Many of his most important compositions were written during the 27 years that Bach lived in Leipzig, including the famous St. John Passion and St. Matthew Passion.

The Bach Museum offers a great program for children of all ages with a variety of educational offerings for kindergarten groups and classes from primary and secondary schools as well as projects such as the summer workshop and family tours.
