The Franz Liszt Museum in Bayreuth is dedicated to the life and work of the pianist , conductor and composer Franz Liszt . The museum has existed since 1993 and is housed in the house where he died.

House

Franz Liszt lived in the house that now houses the museum during his stay in Bayreuth. He died there on July 31, 1886.

The house was built by Carl Wölfel in 1877 . It is a simple, two-story Wilhelminian - style house made of red bricks and with a hipped roof . A ten-step side staircase leads to the house entrance on the mezzanine floor. In 1945 the house was badly damaged by a bomb. At the beginning of the 1990s the house became the property of the city of Bayreuth. The museum was opened on October 22, 1993, the 182nd birthday of Franz Liszt. The museum is located on the mezzanine floor in Liszt's former apartment. For the use as a museum structural changes were necessary, for example wall openings.

The house is in the immediate vicinity of the Wahnfried house , which belonged to his son-in-law Richard Wagner .

exhibition

In 1988 the city of Bayreuth bought the approximately 300 pieces Liszt collection of the Munich pianist Ernst Burger , on which today's museum collection is based. In the meantime, the arsenal has been supplemented by loans from the Richard Wagner Foundation. The exhibition is largely designed in chronological order. Music by Franz Liszt plays in the exhibition rooms.

The collection includes portraits and three-dimensional images, such as a bust of Antonio Galli or a living mask and a death mask , documents, manuscripts such as sheet music, diary or letters, and Liszt's personal items, such as Liszt's silent piano. The Ibach wing from the hall of the Wahnfried house is also on display here. An original Liszt grand piano is in the Steingraeber house .

In 2009 the exhibits were photographically documented and recorded in a database. Photos of images and three-dimensional objects can be accessed publicly.

A complete redesign is planned for the museum in 2020.
