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]
