Today Craig and I decided to visit the Bach Museum. The famous composer Johann Sebastian Bach was a choir master at the Tomaskirche in Leipzig. We were really excited to see the museum. However, when we found the museum we discovered that it was only a small room with a small bit of information about Bach. We still were able to walk around and take some nice pictures.

Another picture of Thomaskirche. According to wikipedia.com: "The tower was first built in 1537 and reconstructed in 1702, leading to its current height of 68 meters."
Bach also headed a boys choir here. This choir was founded in 1212 and the boys choir still performs here.
