The curtain has gone up at the Morgan Library & Museum on the exhibition “Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Treasures From the Mozarteum Foundation of Salzburg.” Curators have orchestrated a special exhibit that brings objects from the collection of the 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 autograph 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.
