At the heart of the History Museum lie the ways in which Styria has evolved and transformed itself from the High Middle Ages to the present. As a location of SHOWING STYRIA, the History Museum is focused on how it was. With a look at medieval monasteries, Graz Castle or the industrial area around Donawitz, we show that history takes place not only in time, but also in space.
