Museum sights in Eisenstadt

  1. Landesmuseum

    Just west of the Schloss is the Landesmuseum. The Landesmuseum plunges you deep into the local history of the region, and includes a collection of Roman mosaics, ancient artefacts, wine-making equipment and some interesting propaganda posters from the 1920s. There’s also a room devoted to Franz Liszt, replete with a warty death mask of the Hungarian composer.

    Haydn-Haus is the great composer’s former residence to the east of the Schloss. The recently revamped museum has a strong permanent exhibition documenting Haydn’s life and work.
