The composing hut of Gustav Mahler (German: Gustav Mahler-Komponierhäuschen) is a small museum and memorial in Maiernigg, near Maria Wörth in Carinthia, Austria. It is dedicated to the classical composer Gustav Mahler (1860–1911). He retreated into this hut from 1900 to 1907 to compose music. Since 7 July 1986, a permanent exhibition has been established here.
There is also a composing hut at the Attersee, Upper Austria,[1] and one next to the Gustav Mahler Stube in South Tyrol, Italy.[2]
In a display cabinet, visitors can view articles that remind of the composer, including photographs, original sheet music, postcards, letters[3] and his death certificate. A bronze bust is placed in the room.[4] A small library can be consulted there.[3]
Visitors can listen to Mahler's music inside[3] as well as outside the hut through loudspeakers.[4] Since the renewal of 2016, art expressions have also been allowed near the hut.[5][6]
