• Best you can find outside a state museum.
• Nothing to dislike.

“I disagree with the MyTravelGuide note that it's not as good as the Birth House. It is in fact considerably better. The exhibits here are largely original items, connected with Mozart, including several instruments that belonged to him, a large display of letters from Wolfgang and Leopold, and some original manuscripts. By comparison, most of the stuff in the Birth House is copy, and there are several modern art displays that have no relationship to Mozart whatsoever (including, when I visited, a room full of engraved prints displayed upside down, a new mechanical model of Mozart shooting his dog (read the biogs to find out how much he loved his fox terrier) and some blue peppier mache geese - perhaps they appeal to our brethren west of the Atlantic). By comparison, the Downhauls is a treasure of articulate and intelligent exhibits, well thought out and vastly more interesting to those who want to see at first hand something of the Mozart's' lives, friends and music.”
