Opened in 1933, it displays Wagner's Érard grand piano — on which he completed works like Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg — alongside photographs, scores, and letters. The lakeside garden facing Lake Lucerne is also worth a stroll. Admission is CHF 10 for adults, CHF 8 reduced, CHF 5 for students, and free for children up to 12. Open Tuesday to Sunday 11:00-17:00, including holidays, closed Mondays. Take bus 6 from the city center to the Wartegg stop and walk to the villa.
