Tritonen- und Najadenbrunnen, Marble fountain at Maria-Theresien-Platz in Vienna, Austria

The Tritonen- und Najadenbrunnen consists of circular basins with central figure groups made of Carrara marble and stylized rock formations of conglomerate stone.

Constructed between 1887 and 1890, the fountain was officially unveiled in 1894 as part of the architectural ensemble between the Museum of Natural History and Art History Museum.

The fountain features mythological figures of Tritons and Naiads arranged in spatial compositions, representing water deities through detailed sculptural work.

Located in the first district of Vienna, the fountain can be reached through multiple public transportation options and serves as a central meeting point.

Three different artists contributed to the fountain design: Anton Schmidgruber, Hugo Haerdtl, and Edmund Hofmann von Aspernburg, each bringing distinct artistic elements.
