Beethoven's house


Bonn is the city of Beethoven. The composer was born here and the tributes to him abound throughout town. Most prominent is the Beethoven house, which is a museum for all things Beethoven set in the home of his birth.

The kids and I went to the Beethovenhaus earlier this week and drank in the history. For Noah and Louise the best part was the media room, which included computers with an interactive program detailing Beethoven's life.

I have put the link up on this blog so that you too can experience the culture of Bonn for kids! Louise especially recommends listening to all his music. Once in the English language version, you can click on his piano and chose from all of his works. It is very cool.
