Phänomen Haydn 1732-1809

Theresia Gabriel, Gerhard J. Winkler

On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of Haydn's death, the exhibition "The Haydn Phenomenon" pays tribute to his genius in a unique and multi-faceted way. At four closely-linked original locations, the exhibition combines, for the first time, an authentic view of ways of life in Haydn's day with a presentation of Baroque joie de vivre, high-level church music and original folk culture. The exhibits include outstanding works of art, precious autographs and period instruments provided by distinguished lenders from all over Europe. Visitors can see, hear and experience Haydn's genius and enjoy the special aura of the places where he lived and worked - a treat for eyes and ears!
