The Johann Adolph Hasse Museum is a museum in the Composers Quarter in Hamburg-Neustadt, Germany.
The museum is dedicated to the life and work of the opera composer Johann Adolph Hasse. The presentation starts with his childhood and youth, Hasse being a descendant of church musicians from Hamburg-Bergedorf. He obtained his first music lessons from his father.[1]
