Vienna - Haydn Museum

Joseph Haydn acquired the single-story house in the little street known as Steingasse (which later received the name Haydngasse) in 1793. He lived here until his death, and it was here he wrote his oratorios "The Creation" and "The Seasons".

When he died in 1809 shortly after the second occupation of Vienna by the French, Napoleon ordered the posting of a Guard of Honor outside his house.

The museum here was opened in 1899. Among the objects on display are letters, manuscripts and personal possessions as well as two pianos and the deathmask of the composer.

Also in the house is a memorial room to Brahms, with mementos and furniture from the composer's last home and a pictorial record of his later life and works.
