MUSEUMS AND GALLERIES.

Modern art meets Old Masters: in Graz, it’s usually only a few paces to go between performances, contemporary fine art or Medieval painting. Connoisseurs and artlovers will enjoy the wide variety of museums, exhibitions and collections – from the unique Graz Armoury, the renowned Universalmuseum Joanneum, Kunsthaus Graz, the well-known children’s museum Frida & Fred, through to collections assembled lovingly over many decades. The public and private galleries of Graz provide a lively platform for contemporary art. 62
