Day 3: Bach Haus by Sarah and Herr Spence

After a decent lunch of Döner Kebabs and some time to shop, we headed to the Bach Museum.  There we had a chance to listen to samples of the concertos and sonatas composed by Bach, some of which were performed live by our guide on instruments over 200 years old.  This led up to our self-guided tour of the museum.  This gave us the opportunity to see how Bach and his family had lived as well as having the opportnty to see some the drafts of the some of Bach’s composed pieces.  Along the way we also got to see some of the instruments that were played during the time when Bach was a composer.  

Lastly, we were able to experience some of the music composed by Bach while relaxing in bubble shaped chairs suspended from the ceiling equipped with headphones.  At the end of the self-guided tour we had the chance to explore the gift shop and eat Bachwürfels at the museum café.
