Visit of the Joanneumsviertel, 16. 02. 2012

Since last year, Graz is one of 10 UNESCO - cities of design worldwide. Therefore, we’re going to visit one of the new architectural highlights of our city on Thursday, 16th February 2012: The Joanneumsviertel. It’s the new heart of the Universalmuseum Joanneum, which celebrated its 200th anniversary last year. Founded by the Styrian prince, archduke Johann, in 1811, it was not only the first public museum of the Austrian monarchy, but today it’s also the biggest universal museum in central Europe (with more than 4,5 million objects).
