Mozarthaus Vienna receives the Austrian Ecolabel

Mozarthaus Vienna, a museum of Wien Holding, has been awarded the prestigious Austrian Ecolabel. This recognition honors the museum's commitment to combining ecological responsibility and cultural heritage.

In the spirit of Wolfgang Amadé Mozart's creative and visionary power, Mozarthaus Vienna pursues a sustainable philosophy, focusing on resource conservation, environmental awareness and social responsibility. The museum relies on environmentally friendly measures such as the use of renewable energy sources, LED lighting and sustainable procurement. Progressive digitalization, e.g. through paperless working and online tickets, further reduces the ecological footprint.

Visitors can experience sustainability - whether by actively promoting travel by public transport or barrier-free access that promotes inclusion and diversity. Mozarthaus Vienna carries this philosophy forward with a diverse educational program that emphasizes humanistic values and Mozart's spirit of enlightenment.

Mozart himself was a pioneer and visionary whose work has inspired generations. Mozarthaus Vienna follows this example by not only bringing Mozart's Viennese years to life, but also making a contribution to a future worth living - in harmony with the values of creativity, sustainability and responsibility.

New installation plays with Mozart's image
The many faces of the composer invite you to visit the Mozart Center

Mozarthaus Vienna has introduced a new interactive installation that invites visitors to explore the many faces of Mozart. Located right outside the museum, this freely accessible feature offers a unique selfie opportunity while blending digital technology with analog mechanics. A rotating cylinder displays four scientifically confirmed portraits of the composer, dynamically mixing and reassembling them into a unified image, creating a playful approach to Mozart’s likeness.

Designed to resemble an 18th-century music box, the installation uses modern technology to generate ever-changing image compositions. Every 90 seconds, a new randomly generated portrait appears, sometimes incorporating elements of all four images. The 1.5-meter-wide structure is an innovative combination of digital controls and mechanical motion, distinguishing itself from conventional screen-based displays.

With this installation, Mozarthaus Vienna enhances the experience of engaging with Mozart while attracting the curiosity of passersby. The design reflects Mozart’s passion for games and encourages visitors to interpret him in their own way. Developed in collaboration with checkpointmedia, this installation adds another highlight to the museum, which welcomes thousands of visitors annually and was awarded the Austrian Eco-label in 2024.
