Bach's life was not just about music. In this multifaceted format, visitors will be taken on a journey to topics from his immediate surroundings: What causes the ink erosion that afflicts Bach's manuscripts? What experiments did Bach's colleague at the Thomasschule and neighbour Johann Heinrich Winkler carry out with electricity? And how should we imagine the eye operation that Bach underwent at the end of his life?
Curators from various departments of the Deutsches Museum show original objects and experiments on these and other topics and explain the connections. This will be accompanied by music in the museum's music hall.
