Rojstna hiša Huga Wolfa
About This Museum
Tucked away on the main square in Slovenj Gradec, this unassuming house holds an extraordinary legacy—it's the very spot where the brilliant, turbulent composer Hugo Wolf first drew breath. Stepping inside feels less like entering a formal museum and more like walking back into the 19th century, surrounded by the intimate sounds and stories of his life. You'll find his personal piano, original manuscripts with his frantic scribbles, and letters that reveal the man behind the powerful Lieder. It’s a quiet, poignant tribute to a musical genius that feels wonderfully undiscovered.
Collection Highlights
His beloved Streicher piano, original handwritten scores for works like the 'Italian Serenade', and personal correspondence that paints a vivid picture of his creative struggles and friendships.
Visitor Information
It's a cozy place; you can easily soak it all in within an hour. Just ring the bell or pop into the tourist information office next door if the door is locked—they're always happy to let you in for a private look.
Architecture & Building
A classic, well-preserved burgher's house with a cheerful yellow facade, right on the main square, looking much as it would have in Wolf's day.
