Museum sights in Graz

  1. A

    Frida & Fred

    The creation of FriDa & FreD, Graz’s first museum devoted to children, makes it even better. This small but fun-packed ­museum is aimed at kids up to the age of 12, and hosts workshops, exhibitions and theatre. Like any good children’s museum, it has loads of hands-on tasks and interactive displays.

    Alte Galerie

    The Alte Galerie is the best among the museums housed within the Schloss, with exquisite paintings and sculpture dating from the Romanesque period through to the late baroque. The palace houses three other collections, which can be visited with admission to the Alte Galerie or Schloss itself.

    Landeszeughaus

    The Landeszeughaus will quite possibly rate as your favourite Austrian museum if you have a passion for armour and weapons. It houses an astounding array of gleaming pieces (more than 30,000 in fact).
