Serving as a museum to classical composer Johann Sebastian Bach, Bachhaus is a small Eisenach house originally thought to be the birthplace of Bach in 1685. Even though it was disproven, the New Bach Society purchased the building in 1906. Stop here to learn about Bach's life and career through more than 250 original exhibits, including antique musical instruments, a Bach music autograph, and a comprehensive listening room. Concerts occasionally take place here. Check for schedules and tickets on the museum's website. To visit Bachhaus on your trip to Eisenach, use our Eisenach travel tool.

you can enjoy and learn Bach amazing world. the concert is taken place once a hour and you can have new things of Bach. You must check Bach = 14 in the 2nd room of exhibition. it is quite smart for his present.

Bach may not actually have been born here as originally thought, but the Bachhaus is still very worth a visit. The museum provides an excellent blend of scholarship and accessibility. There are an amazing range of instruments and artefacts, with performance and sound recordings to bring it alive. Something for everyone, no matter how much or how little you know!
