Visit Franz Liszt Museum - Bayreuth, Germany

Franz Liszt (1811 - 1886)

He was one of the famous Hungarian composer, virtuoso pianist and conductor in 19th century.

Visited the museum last Autumn, September 2015. Currently, ground floor is Franz Liszt Museum whereas first floor belongs to another family.

Franz Liszt died here in this house in Bayreuth, Germany due to pneumonia. During this time, he was here because of the Bayreuth Festival hosted by his daughter, Cosima, (married to Richard Wagner) in the year of 1886. 

He was buried in the cemetery in Bayreuth, which is nearby this house with walking distance. We were there and paid tribute to him in front of his grave. 

Photos was took with permission.
