Locations where Mozart Doorsill 358 was exhibited.
The unique peace of wood of Mozarts most exclusive apartment in Vienna was displayed in different prominent locations. the art installation varies from location to location. I call it living art installation. In the first location it was displayed during chamber concerts in the living room of Christoph Ehrenfellner ,who is for me a genius , austrian composer ,conductor and musician. In his place the doorsill was connected to 2 different mozart fineartprints. Later in MuTh it was connected to Benjamin Franklin ,Lorenzo Da Ponte and Mozart.
