Guided Tour of the Special Exhibition Mozart & 'Mozarts'

The special exhibition at the Mozart Residence invites visitors on an exciting journey of discovery into the world of Mozart iconography. The International Mozarteum Foundation presents the world's largest collection of authentic portraits of the Mozart family here—ranging from historically documented depictions to spectacular forgeries that are recognizable as such at first glance. The exhibition sheds light on the development of portrait painting from the Baroque period to Historicism and shows how myths and legends about the Mozart family manifested in art.

Visitors can embark on an entertaining treasure hunt: Which images are genuine, and which are forgeries? The exhibition not only uncovers the history of the portraits but also conveys a deeper understanding of the cultural significance of Mozart iconography.
