Styrian Armory 1 The largest preserved armoury in the world is among the most popular tourist attractions in Graz and reminds us of a conflict-ridden chapter in Styrian history.

In her new exhibition Isa Rosenberger takes a look at history writing using artistic means, while Ingrid Wiener and Martin Roth devote themselves to researching the term ‘environ4 ment’. Body and Territory talks of the body as a medium of radical art forms, while Plamen Dejanoff transfers historical knowledge to new artworks with his Heritage Project. The high point of 2023 is the show Re-Imagine the Future to mark the 20th anniversary of the Kunsthaus Graz, with old acquaintances in new contexts!

The Styrian Armoury was created in turbulent times: from the 15th to the 18th century, Styria many times had to fend off attacks by the Ottoman Empire and Hungarian rebels.

Universalmuseum Joanneum Learn about history, love art, live culture, understand nature — at the Universalmuseum Joanneum, Austria’s oldest public museum, you can experience the full diversity of Styria. The 14 locations of the Joanneum and the SHOWING STYRIA invite visitors to embark on fascinating journeys of discovery. This handy programme offers you an overview. www.museum-joanneum.at www.museumsblog.at museumjoanneum UniversalmuseumJoanneum #MuseumJoanneum

Built in 1642–44, the armoury served for around 100 years as the ‘central arsenal’ for simple infantrymen and soldiers on horseback. Today it is a memorial and museum at the same time: some 32,000 arms and weapons are on display in the Styrian Armoury in their historical layout. Opening hours Tue–Sun, public holidays, April 1st to October 31st: 10 am – 6 pm; November 1st to March 31st: only accessible as part of a tour, 11 am and 2 pm (GER), 12.30 pm (ENG) and upon request

Indeed, the Kunsthaus is already an attraction by its appearance alone, yet it’s worth getting to know its inner life, too: in its ‘Spaces’, exhibitions can be seen with international contemporary art that tackle social issues and global trends. The luminous BIX facade communicates towards the River Mur and the inner city, while the museum’s ‘Needle’ is a popular viewing platform.

TIP celebrate 20 years of the Kunsthaus Graz with us in the autumn!
