Formerly, home to the renowned musician and Weimar’s court’s Music Director, Franz Liszt , this place was originally constructed as a gardener’s lodge towards the end of the 18th century. Today it is a lovely little museum singing the story of Liszt’s life.

The Liszt House is everything that describes a perfect museum – interactive, playful and informative. The yellow house is a gorgeous memorial of not just Liszt but the beautiful music that he created. The museum has the following attractions –

• Various pianos that belonged to Liszt including the Bechstein grand piano and an Ibach piano.
• Liszt’s silent piano.
• An exhibition which is a visual and aural treat.

The house is partially preserved from Liszt’s times and will give you an insight into the musician’s lifestyle. Portraits and personal items fill the four rooms of the museum. During his final years, Liszt gave free master-classes to aspiring musicians at this very place. To ensure that the musical spirit of the place does not fade away, various concerts are often organised here. The Liszt House is a classic building and a part of the Klassik Stiftung making it a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
