Lonely Planet review

The house where Franz Schubert was born in 1797 was known at that time as Zum roten Krebsen (The Red Crab), but Schubert probably didn't remember much of it as he and his family moved on when he was five. Like many of the city's municipal museums devoted to Vienna's musical sons, there's not a lot to see, but at least you can hear some music and catch the occasional concert.

Bizarrely, a couple of rooms of the house are given over to Adalbert Stifter (1805-68) and his Biedermeier paintings. The two men had absolutely nothing to do with each other.
