Bach in Leipzig and Eisenach

Eisenach merits a visit for the Wartburg, but the Bachhaus isn't something I would travel out of my way to see. Worth a look if you're in town, though.

The Bach Museum in Leipzig is quite comprehensive and looked redone when we were there just a few years ago. But it was still a bit dry. That's in comparison, say, with the possibility of hearing a church (i.e. not a "tourist" production) in the Thomaskirche across the street, where Bach worked for many years. You can't count on that on any given day, naturally. BTW, the Leipzig Gewandhaus is a relatively modern concert hall, and not worth the daytime tour time, although I would consider an evening orchestra concert there. I believe that the Bachhaus in Eisenach is not the actual house where Bach was born, because that is long gone. I haven't been there. The (very nice) Wartburg castle is Eisenach is only fictionally connected to Das Meistersinger, but it's a nice visit. It's more important for Martin Luther's time there. Note that the Bach family has important tracks in other cities, many of them worth visiting for multiple reasons, like Erfurt and Weimar.

Thanks to both of you for your input.

"The (very nice) Wartburg castle is Eisenach is only fictionally connected to Das Meistersinger," Wasn't that Tannhäuser?

Yes, Tannhauser. Any other feedback on the Bach museums?
