Graz Museum
About This Museum
People don't just stumble into the Graz Museum by accident; they come here to truly understand the city, to peel back the layers of its long and fascinating story. Inside, you'll find a vibrant mix of artifacts and multimedia displays that feel more like a conversation with the past than a dry history lesson. One moment you're looking at medieval armor, the next you're immersed in a contemporary art installation questioning modern urban life. It’s this dynamic blend of old and new that makes the museum so compelling, leaving you with a deep, textured sense of what makes Graz tick.
Collection Highlights
The journey through Graz's history is anchored by its celebrated '360° Graz' model, but the real surprises are in exhibits like 'In the Shadow of the Past,' which confronts the city's complex 20th-century history. Don't miss their temporary shows, which often feature provocative local artists and themes.
Visitor Information
