Mozart Monument, Vienna

The Mozart Monument in Burggarten is a marble statue featuring a 7.5 meter tall figure of the composer with reliefs at its base. The bas-reliefs depict moments from Don Giovanni and other scenes from his creative work.

The monument was unveiled in 1896 and relocated to its current position in Burggarten in 1953 after restoration work. This relocation followed damage the work sustained during World War II.

The monument displays scenes from Mozart's operas and life that visitors encounter while walking through the garden. These visual stories make the connection between the composer and Vienna directly experiential.

The monument sits in the central Burggarten and is accessible from Ring Boulevard, with nearby public transportation stops. Visitors should explore the surrounding garden as the monument sits within a quiet, green setting.

The monument's base is constructed from Laas marble from South Tyrol, combined with dark diorite steps that create a striking visual contrast. This material mix gives the work a textural quality that visitors often overlook.
