For International Museum Day, and on the anniversary of his death, one of the smallest of all museums: the first of Gustav Mahler's three composing huts. It is in Steinbach, on the shores of the Attersee, in the awe-inspiring lake and mountain region of Upper Austria. #Mahler https://t.co/V6mkPIyYnE
