Mythos Mozart Immersive Multimedia Experience Tickets Vienna

Where Mozart wrote the Requiem

Mozart spent the last ten years of his life in Vienna, moving between apartments in the inner city. His final residence stood on this very site, just off Kärntner Strasse, and it was here that he composed The Magic Flute and worked on the Requiem, the mass he left unfinished when he died on 5 December 1791 at the age of 35. The original house has long gone, but the location carries a special weight for music lovers.

Mythos Mozart uses this history as its starting point. Instead of glass cases and portraits, it invites you to experience his music, his time and many lesser-known stories from his life with all your senses. For travellers searching for where Mozart died in Vienna, this is the place, and a visit gives the story a striking modern setting.

Five rooms, five artists

The experience unfolds in five rooms, each designed by a different artist, combining music with technology, art and light installations. In the Little Night Music room, named after one of Mozart's best-loved serenades, you can play instruments from around the world, a favourite with children and anyone who likes to touch and try.

The Requiem room is the emotional heart of the visit: a darkened space lit by 1,500 candles, where the music of the final mass surrounds you. In the Vienna 1791 room, 360-degree projections take you back to the city as Mozart knew it, with its walls, churches and lively streets. The free audio and text guide in six languages explains the ideas behind each room and the artists who created them.

Planning your visit: tickets, times and tips

Mythos Mozart tickets come with a timed entry slot, and slots run every ten minutes from late morning to late afternoon every day. Report to the Welcome Desk up to 15 minutes before your time to exchange your ticket. The visit takes just under an hour, which makes it easy to combine with sightseeing in the Old Town or a concert in the evening.

The venue is wheelchair accessible and works well on a rainy or cold day, when an indoor activity is welcome. Students can bring their student card for the student rate where available, and pets are not allowed. Food and drinks are not included, but a café with a large roof terrace and panoramic views in the same building is a lovely place to sit afterwards.

Around Mythos Mozart: the Old Town

Mythos Mozart sits on Kärntner Strasse, Vienna's busiest pedestrian shopping street, which links St. Stephen's Cathedral with the State Opera. The cathedral, where Mozart married in 1782, is only a couple of minutes' walk away, and the State Opera lies at the other end of the street.

If you want to follow Mozart further, the Mozarthaus museum on Domgasse, behind the cathedral, preserves the only one of his Vienna apartments still standing, and many churches and palaces in the area host evening concerts of his music. Together they make a perfect Mozart day in Vienna, with Mythos Mozart as the most modern and imaginative stop. Allow a full morning or afternoon to combine the three at an easy pace.
