Leipzig Bach Archive
The Leipzig Archive was established in 1950 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the composer’s death. It is housed in the Bosehaus at the St. Thomas Church Cemetery and enjoys international renown as a research center.
The archive includes a scientific specialist library focused on Bach, which is one of the most comprehensive of its kind, along with a Bach Museum. The permanent exhibition inside introduces the life and influence of Johann Sebastian Bach in Leipzig: as the music director at St. Thomas Church, Bach lived in Leipzig for a total of 27 years, during which he composed the St. John Passion, the St. Matthew Passion, five annual cantata cycles, the Christmas Oratorio, and The Art of Fugue.
The Leipzig Bach Archive is the best place to learn about this great composer. It is closed on December 24, December 25, and December 31, and offers multilingual guided tours and audio guide headsets.
