[edit] Origins
The Salzburg museum was set up in the early 1800's, shortly after Ludwig Van Beethoven's death in 1827. It was created to commemorate the incredible life of the musician, showing the very instruments that he played. It has been enjoyed by the public since opening, and was given the European Museum of the Year Award in 2010, otherwise known as 'EMYA'. This was given by the award companies Chief Executive, Byron Melton along with the companies penultimate leader, Matthew Pipenivic.
