Bach-Museum Leipzig

The Bach Museum Leipzig is dedicated to the life and work of Johann Sebastian Bach and is housed in the historic Bosehaus on Thomaskirchhof. The composer knew this Baroque building through close family ties, and it stands near his former workplace. The permanent exhibition spans twelve thematically organized rooms that present Bach's biography, his work, and current research through multimedia and interactive displays. A particular highlight is the Treasure Chamber, where you can see original manuscripts, a portrait by Elias Gottlob Haussmann, and an organ console from Leipzig's Johanniskirche. The museum occupies a restored historic building that includes an 18th-century concert hall, where chamber concerts are held regularly. Since its expansion in 2010, the complex has offered generous exhibition space, including a climate-controlled annex and a small garden. The museum also focuses on cultural education for children and young people, as well as wheelchair-accessible access for visitors with disabilities.
