Composers Quarter Hamburg
Six museums in Hamburg-Neustadt, Germany
The Composers Quarter Hamburg (German: Komponistenquartier Hamburg) is a gathering of six museums in the Peterstraße in Hamburg-Neustadt, Germany. The associated museums have one or two classical composers as a theme who were born or have lived in the city of Hamburg.[1]
The museums are located in restored historical buildings.[1] With the use of multimedia the lives and works of the composers are being cleared. Insight is being given why the composers may still matter in the current era.[2]
The quarter is represented by the association with the same name that was founded in 2015.[3] The following list shows the member museums, the composers that are themed and the year of establishment:[4]
