Styrian Armoury 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. The Styrian Armoury was created in turbulent times: from the 15th to the 18th century, the lives of people living here were shaped by constant military conflicts with Hungarian rebels and the Ottoman Empire. 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 both a memorial and museum: some 32,000 articles of war are on display in the Styrian Armoury in their historical layout.

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. This year, artistic approaches to the world of work will be on display, as will a solo exhibition of the artist Azra Aksamija, who is known for her socially critically works. A further major project is devoted to cultural phenomena that result from asymmetrical power structures, (neo-)colonial relations and migration

The Kunsthaus Graz and the History Museum devote two exhibitions to various aspects of the theme of work.
