Our museums are some of the most popular attractions in Graz! Founded as Austria’s first public museum in 1811, the Universalmuseum Joanneum presents a broad range of history, art, culture and the natural sciences at 14 architecturally valuable sites in Graz and Styria. The Universalmuseum Joanneum is considered the biggest of its kind in Central Europe. About 4,7 million items in the collections form the basis of a richly faceted ‘universal’ exhibition and events schedule.
