200 Mozart Statues Vanished Overnight | Australia News

Two hundred ten golden Mozart statues from a massive Salzburg art installation have vanished overnight—artist Ottmar Hörl suspects organized theft, not just souvenir hunters. The statues, part of a tribute to the composer’s 270th birthday, were displayed in Mirabell Gardens, but now only a few dozen remain. Hörl, no stranger to such disappearances (he’s had Wagner figures stolen before), is devastated. Replacement is on hold since the manufacturer’s on vacation. Visitors can still see the remaining statues at the Mozarteum and Mozart’s birthplace until August. A bizarre, thought-provoking end to a public art spectacle.
