Franz Liszt Museum

Reviewed By FBA2341 - Germany, null

The material of the collection is presented in the ground floor rooms of the small building, where the composer has spent the last part of his life. Altough acquainted with his art and playing his pieces myself, the surprisingly detailed personal side of his life story astonished me. It is a must for piano enthusiasts when in Bayreuth. For young (and old) visitors, a so-called Piano Hero is available to test their skills just like in Guitar Hero. Simply cool.
