Зальцбург украсили 300 золотых фигур Моцарта в честь юбилея великого композитора

All figures are crafted in the recognizable image of Mozart — in an 18th-century coat, with a characteristic wig and other details of historical costume. The project's authors aimed not only to remind people of the outstanding musician but also to bring his legacy closer to modern residents and tourists. The unusual installation quickly became one of the city's most popular attractions. Residents and visitors of Salzburg happily take photos next to the golden sculptures, while cultural experts note that this format helps to look at classical art in a new way and engage the younger generation. Salzburg, where Mozart was born in 1756, hosts numerous events each year dedicated to its famous native son. However, this artistic initiative has become one of the brightest events of the anniversary year. After the celebrations conclude, the installation will be dismantled. Some of the figurines will enrich the collections of museums and cultural institutions, while others will be sold at a charity auction. The proceeds will be directed to support young musicians, the development of children's music schools, and educational programs in Austria.
