The museum is situated in an historical building in the Peterstraße, where Telemann lived and worked from 1721 until his death in 1767.[3] The presentation highlights his personality, including his passion for his botanic garden, and the signification he had musically and culturally in his era.[4]

A great deal of the musical attention is spent to his compositions for the civilians and of church music. The museum houses old archives and maintains an extensive library of books that center around the history of music and culture of the 18th century. The exposition shows first issues and a number of utensils, like an original spinet from 1730 of the builder Thomas Hitchcock. This instrument is used during music performances in the museum.[5]

Impression
gollark: Possibly an OS thing.
gollark: Go has its own *assembly language* because of course.
gollark: When someone asked for monotonic time to be exposed properly, GUESS WHAT, they decided to "fix" the whole thing in the most Go way possible by "transparently" adding monotonic time to the existing time handling, in some bizarre convoluted way which was a breaking change for lots of code and which limited the range time structs could represent rather a lot.
gollark: Rust, which is COOL™, has monotonic time and system time and such as separate types. Go did *not* have monotonic time for ages, but *did* have an internal function for it which wasn't exposed because of course.
gollark: That article describes, among other things, somewhat poor filesystem interaction handling, and a really stupid way monotonic time was handled.
