Where the Music Plays

Until August 16, 2026, numerous concert venues have shaped the musical life in Kassel over the past 200 years – from fixed theaters to tents, and even unusual performance spaces like ships. Some events even made headlines and stirred up commotion. The current special exhibition at the Spohr Museum brings this concert history back to life. Citizens of Kassel have contributed posters, photos, and memorabilia for this. The museum at Palais Bellevue not only showcases the life and work of composer and conductor Louis Spohr but also connects historical themes with modern formats and interactive offerings for families. A variety of exhibits are on display – from instruments to personal everyday items.
