It is hidden behind the music shop Hummel Music in a small courtyard. The exhibition of the Johann Nepomuk Hummel Museum is located in a historical house that used to neighbour the birthplace of the composer. It was built in the 17th century, in 1755 an open staircase was built from two sides ended by loggias. In 1909, a Baroque relief showing the Coronation of the Virgin Mary from the mid-18th century was placed on its façade as it originated from Hummel’s home.
