Johannes Brahms Denkmal, Vienna, Marble monument in Resselpark, Vienna, Austria

The Johannes Brahms monument in Vienna's Resselpark shows the composer seated in white marble, with a sculpture of Terpsichore, muse of choral lyric, on the pedestal; her attribute is the lyre, alluding to Brahms's many choral works. The figures are of light marble, the broad stepped base of granite.

In 1902 the City of Vienna held a competition for the monument; Max Klinger, Karl Kundmann and Rudolf Weyr submitted designs. Klinger and Kundmann were excluded for exceeding the price limit, and the jury unanimously chose Weyr's entry. The monument was unveiled on Karlsplatz on 7 May 1908, Brahms's 75th birthday. When the Resselpark was relaid after the U-Bahn works (1969–1976) to plans by Sven-Ingvar Andersson, the monument was moved to its present spot.

The marble base carries a sculpture of Terpsichore, muse of choral lyric, with her lyre — a reference to Brahms's many choral works. The monument was unveiled on 7 May 1908, the composer's 75th birthday.

The monument sits in Resselpark near Karlsplatz subway station, which is served by multiple lines making it easy to access. The park itself is freely accessible and can be reached on foot from various tram and bus stops in the surrounding area.

The 1902 competition jury rejected the entries of Max Klinger and Karl Kundmann because they exceeded the price limit, then chose Rudolf Weyr's design unanimously. The muse on the pedestal is Terpsichore, muse of choral lyric poetry, with her lyre — a nod to Brahms's many choral works.
