Franz Liszt Museum
Franz-Liszt-Museum
The residence where composer Franz Liszt died in 1886. It displays a piano, manuscripts and portraits, and is just one street from Wagner's residence.
In his later years, Liszt visited Bayreuth to see his daughter Cosima, Wagner's widow, and attend the festival. He died here in 1886 and was buried in the city cemetery. The museum is in a small building next to Villa Wahnfried. It displays the piano he last used, manuscripts, letters, a death mask and many portraits. It is small in scale but appealing to classical music lovers. Admission costs about 4 to 5 euros, and you can buy a combined ticket with the Wagner Museum.
