The Mozart residence, also known as the "Tanzmeisterhaus", was first chronicled in 1617.
As of 1711, a decree permitted this building to host dance events.
In 1773, the Mozarts moved into their new home on what was then the Hannibalplatz (today No.8 Makartplatz), this after their apartments on the third floor at No.9 Getreidegasse (Mozart's birthplace) had become too small for the growing family.
In the music room, the family members would gather with court musicians, including Johann Michael Haydn (1737-1806). Those who were interested could also inspect pianos there, which Leopold Mozart was selling on commission for a variety of piano makers.
The spacious apartments offered plenty of room for get-togethers with friends and musicians.
Emanuel Schikaneder (1751-1812), the librettist of "The Magic Flute", was also a frequent guest.
The young Mozart lived here within his family circle until 1780, during which years he wrote numerous symphonies, serenades, divertimenti, as well as five concertos for violin, and piano concertos, including the Concerto for 3 Pianos K. 242, the Lützow Concerto K. 246 and the Jeunehomme Concerto K. 271.
Of his stage works, we see the start of the
"La finta giardinera" K. 196, "Il Re pastore" K. 208 and portions of "Idomeneo" K. 366
.
Mozart’s sister, Nannerl, lived here until 1784, while Mozart's father, Leopold, resided here until his death on May 28th, 1787.

The museum on the first floor documents the life of the Mozart family and the history of the house.
The life and works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart are the focal point. An infrared guided tour system in six languages, and punctuated by musical examples, accompanies visitors throughout the museum. Special areas of concentration include the travels of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his sister, Maria Anna - "Nannerl". A so-called "ambience room" sheds light on the lifestyle of those times. The tour concludes with a multi-vision show entitled "Mozart and Salzburg".
