Vienna, Austria: Mozart Statue

I guess this is a rather rare photo of the Mozart Statue in Vienna. You see, there are no people in the frame. It's a popular spot to gather in Burggarten park. It seems the Royals did not want anyone to forget his work, so this elaborate piece of art was commissioned.

Mozart moved to Vienna in 1781 and lived there for ten years until his death. Mozart moved several times during those years, so there are several buildings with plaques reading the equivalent of "Mozart slept here," like our George Washington.

Mozart is buried in St. Marx Cemetery in Vienna. His legacy continues in a number of ways in Vienna.
