Highlights
Usomo Headphones
A modern audio guide, available in 8 languages, will lead and accompany you through our museum. Thanks to the support of FRAMED immersive projects, we use usomo headphones, which feature a location-based 3D sound system. This system allows you to experience sounds individually based on your position in the room. The innovative system dynamically adapts the sounds, meaning that the noises and musical elements around you change depending on where you are or which direction you move. This creates a three-dimensional auditory experience, making you feel as if you’re standing right in the middle of the soundscape. As a result, your visit in our museum becomes an immersive experience where sound and space merge in an impressive way.
Composition machine
A special highlight of the exhibition is the composing machine, inspired by the spirit of the Waltz King Johann Strauss, which transports visitors into the world of music and composition. Using dials that seem to dance like melodies, visitors can select notes that appear on a screen. Step by step, a personal waltz is created, becoming more lively and complex with each turn. Create your own waltz and even download it as an audio file, so you can listen to it again and again. Just as a Strauss waltz floats through the ballrooms of the world, this machine is designed to spark creativity and bring the magic of music to life.
Immersive Room
Our immersive room invites you to linger and dream – here you can feel the past in a unique way. Immerse yourself deeply in the world of Johann Strauss in recreated historical scenes brought to life using state-of-the-art technology. While you let the impressive images and atmosphere wash over you, the unforgettable sounds of Johann Strauss II accompany the scenery and reinforce the feeling of being transported straight back to his time. A place that sends you into a zone to pause, enjoy and be amazed!
