yes and it sucked! don't bother.
The house has been refurbished ten times since he left it, so there's virtually nothing original in the house, except for a room they thing! he wrote Figaro in. And they had a lot oh photocopies! of letters and 1st editions.
This cost 7 euro and no photography allowed. The Haydn Museum cost 1 euro, there was his piano (more photocopies unfortunately again) and room where Brahms lived with his piano and some cool photos and got some photos.

Well if you're in Vienna, obviously it's a must- just to step where he stepped. But there's virtually nothing original there.
The Schoenberg Museum was prolly the best one I went to.

Mozart, Haydn, Schubert, Brahms, Beethoven (Heligenstadt), J.Strauss, Schoenberg are all in Vienna. Think that's all.
