This museum is dedicated to Eisenach’s most famous son, the composer Johan Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). It was originally thought that this house was his place of birth, but arguments still rage over whether that was an honest mistake or the truth was hidden until the real birth house could be destroyed and the land used for other commercial purposes. Although the first museum in the world dedicated to Bach, it only opened in 1906 and has little that was used by Bach himself.
Most of the exhibits are documents and prints on his life and work, with descriptions in German only. Furniture and musical instruments on display date from Bach’s time. Behind the lovely garden in the back of the house is a modern glass and steel hall used for temporary exhibitions. The Bach statue in front of the house dates from 1884 and was moved here from Markt in 1938. Admission is i4 and includes a 20-minute program of Bach music, with some pieces played on period instruments. Concerts are sometimes held in the museum.
