Fast Forward! Carinthia & Styria

The Koralm Railway will begin operations on December 14th, 2025. The History Museum and the kärnten.museum in Klagenfurt are taking the inauguration as an occasion for a cross-border exhibition. At its centre are the long-standing close ties between the two neighbouring regions.

The starting point of the project is the question of why people in this region have embarked on their journey over the last 1,000 years. Their central motives – from survival, control and administration, trading and working, research and learning to the search for recreation – form the various chapters of the 800 square-metre exhibition in Graz and Klagenfurt. These chapters are linked by the paths, the historically verifiable lines connecting the modern-day provinces.

Whether Pack, Drava or Soboth, they were more or less important and difficult to master depending on the time and level of technical development concerned. Six of them are presented on film in the exhibition as atmospheric spaces.
