A very nice museum in the city centre of Leipzig. There is also a statue of Bach in front of the St Thomas Church. You can listen to all of the stories about the great musician. Highly recommended!Full review by CongLeipzig

Excellent Museum on Bach and his family. Located in the Bose family home (close friend & colleague ) right across from the church where he spent most of his career. Great displays of original scores.…Full review by valatari

Web site says 10 am - 6 pm Tuesday - Sunday. Leipzig is a town with a lot of music of all kinds. If you are there for Bach, I would say schedule your visit when there is something good going on at St. Thomas Church across the street from the museum - where Bach worked at the end of his career/life. The organs/organist are very good and the boy choir is also top notch. On Easter this year, the choir performed Bach's Cantata Christ lag in Todesbanden with players from the famous Gewandhaus orchestra. It was free because it was a church service, but you had to be there 45 minutes early to get a good seat. There are also non-religious performances. There are other good venues in town and the Gewandhaus, itself, where Bach can be heard at various times.
