Where is Mozart’s skull?

Mozart’s skull is believed to be held by the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria. The skull was said to have been taken from the group grave in which Mozart was buried ten years after his death in 1791 by a gravedigger named Joseph Rothmayer.

The skull is missing its lower jaw and is no longer on display at the Mozarteum, but it can be shown upon request. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical period.

Mozart was a child prodigy who began composing music at the age of five and was performing for royalty by the time he was six. Mozart’s early career was spent in Salzburg, where he worked as a court musician for the Archbishop of Salzburg.

Mozart’s most famous works include the operas “The Marriage of Figaro” (1786), “Don Giovanni” (1787), and “The Magic Flute” (1791).

Mozart also composed many symphonies, including the “Jupiter Symphony” (1788), and chamber music, such as the “Eine kleine Nachtmusik” (1787).
