The Brahms Museum is a Hamburg museum dedicated to the classical musician and composer Johannes Brahms, a native of the city of Hamburg. Opened in 1971, it is one of the six museums in the so-called KomponistenQuartier, a union of six museums along the Peterstraße, dedicated to famous composers who have spent parts of their lives in Hamburg. Seat of the museum is a typical merchant's house of the eighteenth century. This is not his birthplace, as this was destroyed by the bombings of 1943. In the museum it is possible to trace the life and artistic work of Brahms, in particular from his childhood and youth, when he was formed in Hamburg and began to compose the first works. Brahms left Hamburg at the age of 29, moving to Vienna, the world music capital of the time, a city where the musician found a second home and remained until the end of his days. The museum collection contains documents, letters, busts of the composer and other personalities and private objects of the musician, including the table piano with which he gave lessons. There is also a library with more than 300 books, the complete edition of Brahms from the publisher G. Henle Verlag. The visit to the museum is then enriched by musical recordings.
