Museum education workshops

The Liszt Ferenc Memorial Museum offers a variety of museum educational activities for all ages, including interactive guided tours. We present Franz Liszt's former home, instruments, books, sheet music and personal objects in an experiential way for children, and then, according to the needs and interests of the visiting group of students, we make the time spent in the museum a memorable experience with the help of various games.

Guided tour:

Our museum education sessions start with a short guided tour (usually 30-40 minutes, longer if required), when a member of the museum staff will show you the apartment of Franz Liszt: the entrance hall, the dining room, the study- and bedroom and the salon, where Liszt taught the students of the Music Academy. The guide tells the story of Franz Liszt, who used his Budapest apartment as president and professor of piano at the Academy of Music in the last years of his life, from 1881 to 1886. Objects of particular interest to children will be highlighted, such as a glass piano, a composing desk, portraits of family members and a silver music stand. During the guided tour, children can ask questions and get a close-up look at the furnishings of the museum.
