We do not want to replace an actual visit of the "Bachhaus" with our web site. We only want to give you an impression what to expect.
If you want to learn more about the life of Johann Sebastian Bach you will certainly find many information. We recommend that you join a guided tour in the English language if you can't read all the German explanations. Please call ahead to make sure that such a tour is available when you come.
Spend some time studying the collection of old instruments and experience their sound during a demonstration.
One organ needs a helper who has continuously to pull out a belt to make the instrument work. Naturally, this had to be a volunteer from the audience.
A visit to the "Bachhaus" certainly will refresh and improve you knowledge about this multi talent musician.

The demonstration of the old instruments are always the highlight of a visit. Don't miss to browse through the gift store. Maybe, you want to take home a book or some CD's with his wonderful music.

If you are interested in a concert - please ask. They are performed on request for larger groups, but eventually their is a chance to join. Just ask. Don't miss such a chance!

There are so many things to discover, so please plan some time for the visit. If you want to take pictures, please ask. A small fee may have to be paid to be granted this favor. Every museums needs financial support.
