Mozart and Prague:
Mozart had a truly exceptional bond with Prague, one that shaped some of his greatest music. He visited the city five times, beginning in January 1787, when he conducted his opera The Marriage of Figaro. While Vienna had greeted the work coolly, Prague fell in love with it; its melodies rang out across the streets, prompting Mozart's famous remark: "My Praguers understand me." That same visit saw the premiere of his Prague Symphony. Buoyed by this reception, Mozart accepted a new commission for the city — Don Giovanni. It premiered on 29 October 1787 at the Nostic Theatre (today's Estates Theatre), with Mozart himself conducting, to another triumphant reception.
His ties to Prague deepened further in 1791, when he composed La clemenza di Tito for the coronation of Emperor Leopold II as King of Bohemia. Beyond professional acclaim, Prague gave Mozart personal warmth and inspiration through close friends František Xaver Dušek and his wife, singer Josefína Dušková, whom he often visited at their villa in Bertramka — now part of the Smíchov district.

Mozart's Interactive Museum - Prague Old Town Square: Bringing Prague's Mozart legacy to life
Mozart's Interactive Museum is a private institution born from the passion of three men who dared to take the risky step of building and opening a museum in Prague dedicated to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the historical centre of Prague - in the Old Town Square. The museum aims to remind both Czech and international visitors that Prague is inextricably linked with the name Mozart. Dozens of people took part in building the museum and preparing the exhibition: artists, creatives, scientists, IT specialists, and more. Mozart's Interactive Museum aims to entertain and bring Mozart closer to everyday people, while also educating and serving as an important platform where key topics intersect—such as the future of AI in culture and the role of Prague as a global cultural tourism hub.
How to get there:
Mozart Interactive Museum is located in the heart of Prague’s Old Town, directly opposite the Astronomical Clock. The museum is set inside a historic building – The House At The Red Fox – on the city’s most famous square.
