Mozart Meets Innovation: The New Interactive Museum in Prague

A new interactive museum in the heart of Prague invites visitors to explore the life and works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart through the lens of modern technology.

Located in Lesser Town, this innovative exhibition combines interactive experiences with cutting-edge visuals, offering a fresh perspective on the legacy of one of the greatest composers in history.

Engaging Experiences with a Modern Twist

Guests are invited to take on the role of a conductor, reenact the iconic Prague premiere of Don Giovanni, or even try their hand at entertaining Empress Maria Theresa. Visitors can also play the harpsichord under the guidance of Mozart’s father, Leopold. These immersive activities highlight Mozart’s deep connection to Prague, where he enjoyed a strong bond with the city’s music-loving audiences.

Renowned actor Karel Dobrý lends his voice to guide visitors through the museum as Mozart’s inner voice. Live-action portraits, created in collaboration with the Pokrok Studio, bring key historical figures to life. Mozart’s father, Leopold, is portrayed by Martin Zbrožek, while Antonio Salieri and Empress Maria Theresa are played by Karel Dobrý and Barbora Vaculíková, respectively.

Blending Education and Entertainment

Visitors will engage with hands-on exhibits across three floors, each representing a different stage of Mozart’s life. Beyond the interactive displays, detailed wall texts provide historical context, ensuring a balance between fun and learning.

“The Mozart Interactive Museum in Prague is a fantastic initiative,” said philanthropist Tereza Maxová, a patron of the project. “Mozart visited Prague several times, developed a unique connection with the city, and was cherished by its people. This museum ensures his legacy lives on in an entertaining and accessible way, while also supporting disadvantaged children through special events.”

A Unique Musical Journey

The experience culminates with modern adaptations of his works, ranging from hip-hop to reggae and metal, offering an unexpected twist to classical masterpieces. These recordings, featuring orchestras, choirs, and soloists, were created under the direction of conductor Varhan Orchestrovič Bauer in historic Prague locations, including the Church of St. Nicholas and the Faust recording studio.

Four of Mozart’s most famous operas—Don Giovanni, The Marriage of Figaro, The Magic Flute, and Così fan tutte—are also presented through unique video adaptations. For example, Don Giovanni is reimagined as a film noir, while The Marriage of Figaro features an original dollhouse crafted from a double bass.

The Mozart Interactive Museum is open daily from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Located at Karmelitská 33 in Malostranské náměstí, Prague 1, it’s easily accessible via the Malostranská tram stop.
