Guided Story

Imagine the sound of a quill pen scratching across parchment. Right here, in the Bach Museum, you can see the original quill that Johann Sebastian Bach used. Turn around and admire the impressive manuscripts created with it. Look up and imagine the rooms filled with his music as he lived and worked in Leipzig. Did you know Bach was not only a musical genius but also a coffee enthusiast? A visit to his home wouldn't have been complete without a cup of his favorite brew. And if you look north, you'll see the St. Thomas Church, where Bach served as cantor. The connection between this spot and the church is almost tangible.
