Ressel Park (4th district of Vienna) is close to St.Charles' and the Technical University, both in the vicinity of the Musikverein.
Somewhat hidden in the bushes, near the entrance to the Historical Museum of Vienna, stands the monument of Johannes Brahms, designed by Rudolf Weyr and unveiled on May 7th, 1908. The City of Vienna paid for the project, thus honouring the great composer with this marble monument. It shows Brahms seated, at his feet a female figure with a lyre.
