A cultural hub in the heart of Graz

Cycling through the city center, it’s hard to miss the Joanneum Quarter. Here, several museums come together in one architectural ensemble that blends historic buildings with modern glass-and-concrete design.


What’s there to see?

  • Neue Galerie Graz (New Gallery): Contemporary art with rotating exhibitions – from painting and photography to installations.

  • Natural History Museum: Fascinating insights into Styria’s flora, fauna, and geology – from fossils to animal specimens to interactive displays.

  • Reading lounge & library: Perfect for a quiet break between exhibitions.


Architecture & atmosphere

The Joanneum Quarter combines historical façades with striking modern design. Especially eye-catching: the underground entrances framed by glass light shafts. It’s the perfect spot where old meets new – and a cultural highlight even on rainy days.


By bike to the Quarter

Located between Herrengasse and Raubergasse, the quarter is right in the city center. Park your bike in one of the side streets and dive straight into art, culture, and natural history.


Conclusion

The Joanneum Quarter is a true cultural package – ideal for discovering Graz from its creative and curious side.
