The museum isn’t very big, and that’s exactly what makes it so enjoyable. What makes this museum especially fun are the interactive elements. You’re not just a spectator, but also a participant. There are installations you can try out or listen to, which makes the experience more vivid and personal. For anyone who loves classical art and culture, this place is truly worth a visit.

We enjoyed our visit very much. The museum is light, bright and well laid out. The exhibits are engaging and varied and we learnt a lot about Bach and Leipzig. I couldn't ask for more from a museum.

We love the museum— informative, fun, beautiful— especially the room where you could compose a song and the orchestra room. The young lady staff member inside the museum was lovely. The only downside was when we purchased the ticket. The old lady was incredibly grumpy and rude. How can you put a person like that as the first tourist touchpoint!?!

Wonderful, not to be missed museum on J. S. Bach's life and musical career. And it was free with English audio guide! The highlight for me, and I suspect other classical music lovers was the original and only remaining organ that he sat and played at next door St. Thomas church (which also must be seen). Quite sublime to think about.

🍉The accoustic design must have been a big challenge. In the moderate space of the msueum packed with stories of family and music lineage, the curators have to fit in different types of music and narration. Sometimes, the same room, the size of your own living room, would have multiple sound stations. They got really creative in there! 🍉The graphic design and data visualization is also top notch. We spent a good two hours in there and wished we had more time. A must for music buffs.

The ticket price is 10 euros. I decided to visit this place as I was waiting for hotel check in and was jetlagged. It's very nice and the staff was friendly. I ended up spending a couple of hours there despite the small size as they have a lot of information. Even if you take the audio tour be sure to take time to read the placards. The listening room was very nice. I could've spent more time but the music samples over the audio were making me fall asleep after my flights. The garden is small but very pretty. Overall a great experience which I highly recommend.

Such an amazing venue to learn about the timeline of one of the best composers of all time. The house is quite big with detailed description of Bach's musical stories. Interactive listening session is available inside. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys Bach's music!
