We also went to the Bach Museum. Bach lived in the town of Eisenach. The Wartburg castle is on the hillside next to Eisenach. Part of the Bach tour was the guide playing the various instruments from Bach's time. Here he is playing a small organ.
Here is the outside of Johann Sebastian Bach's house.
This is the inner courtyard of the Bach house.
I don't know why they had this in a museum, but here it is--John's john.
The Bach's had this huge cow bell. However, we could not take it with us!
Here is a statue of JSB. He was truly a musical genius--and he was quite near sighted.
Somehow they have this copy of JSB's skull. I have a good story about JSB decomposing (as the opposite of composing...music that is) but he had lost several teeth. And, by the way, he had a very large family (2 wives, 20 children) and numerous descendents were musical.
This is a statue of JSB in the square in front of his museum.
We had not eaten since breakfast and we were quite famished. And right across the street there was a Kondieteri. That is a German pastry shop. So for dinner we ate these three slices of torte.
