Erato, the Muse of Poetry. Curtain up for one of the most dazzling figures in Baden bei Wien's Theaterplatz! Here, the fountain basin is crowned with the lyre-playing Muse Erato, who not only enchants the gods with her melodies but also touches the hearts of humankind.
In 1902, the gifted artist Josef Valentin Kassin created this masterpiece, which stood amidst a profusion of flowers in front of the venerable theater until 1973. But time demanded a transformation, and so the blossoming backdrop became a tender fountain, which unfolds the muse's vivacity even more vividly.
