What would be the draw for children to visit the Mozart Museum? Would their interest be sparked by their first music lessons in school with reference to the little boy playing so proficiently and making playing music his career eventually? Or would they be more nudged into the museum by ambitious parents to awaken their interest in music and to set an example as to where it can get you if your genius was discovered? The museum tries to cater to children – with computer audio stations to explore Mozart music and an interactive room where one can invoke the sound of different instruments by stepping on marked plates on the floor. It is hosted in the former flat the Mozart family inhabited and has a good number of exhibits that go back to their time. Mozart has composed many operas – a total of 22 and a lot of them are still regularly staged at theaters around the world. The museum has a large area devoted to showcase the sets of famous productions of his operas – these three-dimensional displays are like light boxes with models of the set’s scenery designed by creative theater designers. Given the relatively small size of these models – think of 18-inch TVs – they are mounted high so adults can peak into them easily. But what about five-year-olds? Here the curators came up with a simple and practical idea. Initially I wondered what the wooden blocks on the floor were for and paid attention to them mostly to not trip over them myself. But then I saw a little girl arranging and stacking them in front of one of the displays to stand up tall and to peak into the light box alongside her parents – what a clever idea!
