    We surely never ever had such an awful expirience. First of all the staircase. So narrow and truely dangerous when someone's walking down while others are going up. The cashier (young man) was friendly and we had a little chat about Vienna, which places to go to and where to visit a "richtig uriges Restaurant". The museum itself...well...there are 5 room which are almost empty. And it isn't even verified that Beethoven lived here, just supposed. The house is old and you can see cracks in the walls everywhere in the rooms. The view was really nice. There were two other guards walking the rooms, both older men. One of them was farting every 5 minutes and he acted like nothing happened. He had no belt on so his pants dropped a little bit while he was walking...not a pleasent view. The other grumpy old guy told us in a really harsh voice that the museum is closing at 1pm. We knew that, it was just the tone and the way he said it to us. We tried to explain to him, that he was unfriendly towards us, but he wouldn't listen and so he escorted us to the door. After we left we heard him yelling and complaining. This has been the most awful behaviour we ever whitnessed. The farter and the yeller should really be reeducated.

    I cannot say I was impressed but it was nice to see where Beethoven used to live. The museum is on the top floor of an apartment block, interestingly you may meet other residents on the way. That felt pretty special. A nice view from the flat but the museum itself was not extremely informative.

    As a Beethoven fan, I am incredibly glad to have seen this. The biggest deal is just being in the house Beethoven lived. The history is good as are the displays, but the house is #1!

    The historical 4 floor.... You feel strange when you feel the energy of this monster of music... You don't need something else... A few hand written and paintings... Nothing else but it's OK.... Thanks ludwich....

    Small museum, not a lot of things on display. It’s not a must in Vienna, but you can drop by if you’re a fan of his compositions or if you get the combined musicians houses ticket (or the first Sunday of the month, when it’s free entrance).

    A small museum in an apartment that Beethoven used on the top floor of the building. It had some interesting artifacts and nice views of Vienna. It doesn't take too long to go through, maybe an hour. It was not busy, just one or two other people in the museum when we were there. Worth a stop if you are interested in music.

    Even though this is not the flat where Beethoven spend his time in Vienna but it is right opposite it (the flat where he used to live is currently occupied). A good collection of paintings, music scripts and other (some belonging to Ludwig Beethoven or his family and some to people associated with him). There are recordings of his most famous pieces of work. The museum is relatively small.

    The museum is small, not a lot of displayed items here. The things that make you feel connected to the composer's life is the idea that he lived here and created some of his symphonies in this apartment. You can also listen to some of his operas.

    A small museum, a one apartment size, little bit hard to find the entrance, you will have to read carefully the signs. It has a good amount of relics (paintings, notes on paper) and it tells you the life of Beethoven and plays you some parts of his greatest composition. It would take you 30-40 minutes to enjoy the exhibition.

    If you’re learning piano, and love to play with Mozart pieces…You will resonated more when you’re here.

    Four roms, four things to see, one is good, If I know that I wouldn't come. Women who works on the entrance was really kind.

    So much real life story remains here of Beethoven. But the piano is at the other museum.

    Nice little museum were you can learn about the work and life if Beethoven. Free entry for those younger than 19 years of age was appreciated. The only negative thing I have to say is that I would have loved to see more original pieces, not just replicas.

  • 5/5 Esther W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience to be able to listen to Beethoven’s works that he wrote while living here while we tour and walk around his apartment and look out the windows, imagining what type of inspirations were going through his head back then.

  • 5/5 Jacek M. 1 year ago on Google
    A must see, because it is an authentic house where Beethoven lived (the floor is certain, although I am not sure if LvB actually lived in this particular apartment). Anyway, going up the stairs Beethoven used - priceless! The exhibition itself is not particularly interesting (for a person familiar with Beethoven's biography), and the current one (2022) looks worse than in 2016.

    Those stairs are steep. On the fourth floor. Good view from the apartment though. Museum is probably just about worth the 5 euro entrance fee for Beethoven fans.

  • 5/5 Vlaho 1 year ago on Google
    Interesting story about Bethoveens life in Vienna.

  • 4/5 Tim G. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cool to actually be in Beethoven's apartment, but not too many items that were his. But the ones they do have are fascinating.

  • 5/5 will a. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing to be where the wonderful genius Beethoven lived and worked.

  • 2/5 Stevie H. 1 year ago on Google
    It was cool to be in Beethoven's house but it stops there. There's nothing to see inside. Not much of an experience.

  • 3/5 Keith R. 2 years ago on Google
    A very basic museum on the 4th floor, up narrow stairs. Most exhibits are reproductions and Beethoven lived in a neighbouring apartment. Still worth a visit for the Beethoven faithful.

  • 5/5 Isaac N. 4 years ago on Google
    Worthy of visiting.

  • 4/5 Sue D. 4 years ago on Google
    It is not easy to find the place. Google map does not guide me to the exact spot, and there is no obvious sign on the street. It is on a little hill behind the street.

  • 3/5 Ellen 4 years ago on Google
    Nice to be in a Beethoven apartment on the 4th floor, but not very much to see. Hearing fragment of his work is nice.

  • 5/5 Tugce C. 2 years ago on Google
    It was nice to climb those stairs and tried to feel him here. I could not visit inside the flat. If you are a fan of him, you can visit.
