Until the renovation in 2010/11, the Slovenj Gradec Music School was housed in the birthplace of the worldwide famous composer of late Romantic music, Hugo Wolf. Today, the building has been transformed into a memorial museum, part of which is also the International Hugo Wolf Documentation Centre.
Hugo Wolf’s birthplace functions under the patronage of the Carinthian Regional Museum and it is also the seat of the Slovenj Gradec Hugo Wolf Association. The project Sound of the Past Brought to Life was carried out during Maribor’s tenure as European Culture Capital 2012 and it enabled a complete renovation of the house, the opening of the memorial exhibition about Hugo Wolf’s life and the establishment of the International Hugo Wolf Documentation Centre.
