“BTHVN on Tour,” the traveling exhibition, comes to New England Conservatory for one week only, October 27–November 2, 2019. Developed by leading logistics company DHL and Beethoven's birthplace museum, Beethoven-Haus Bonn, displays include artifacts that have never before been displayed outside of the Beethoven-Haus museum.

Among the rare exhibit items are an ear trumpet used by the composer and an original print from Andy Warhol’s 1987 Beethoven Series. Multimedia displays—including an animated depiction of Beethoven’s hand-writing the manuscript of his famous Diabelli Variations—bring visitors closer to the composer and his creative processes. Visitors also have the unique opportunity to take home a personalized wax seal of their own, just as Beethoven famously had on his violin.
