NEW YORK CITY—The curtain has gone up on the exhibition “Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Treasures From the Mozarteum Foundation of Salzburg” at the Morgan Library & Museum. Curators have orchestrated a special exhibition that brings objects from the collection of the Austria’s Mozarteum Foundation of Salzburg to America for the first time.

Accompanying these rare loans of portraits, personal objects, and instruments are highlights from the Morgan’s own extensive collections of autographed music manuscripts, letters, and first editions. This institutional collaboration affords visitors a comprehensive examination of Mozart’s family life, extraordinary musical genius, and enduring legacy.
