Vienna is a city known for an exceptionally rich cultural life. Many leading figures of music, art and literature have historically been linked to it, including the composers Joseph Haydn, Ludwig van Beethoven and Gustav Mahler, the painters Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele, and the Strauss musical dynasty. The list is much longer.
Mozart is one of Vienna's symbols, so an exhibition about him forms part of the city's cultural offer. The title points to the myth that has grown up around the composer, but the source does not describe in detail how the exhibition is built or which exhibits it contains.
