BLOOM Day at the Kunsthaus Graz

BLOOM is the annual theme for 2026 at Universalmuseum Joanneum and Kunsthaus Graz – one theme, eight venues, ten exhibitions.

Flowers are desired, cherished, and traded. They symbolize peace, the fragility of life, and enlightenment. These and many other facets provide the starting point for Universalmuseum Joanneum and Kunsthaus Graz to explore the full spectrum of the flower throughout 2026.

A special highlight is “BLOOMing in June”, when all eight venues come alive with a wide range of events, workshops, tours, and educational programmes.

Strange Growths. An Interactive Performance

We know that we are different. But how can we act together despite our differences? What holds us together, even when things become difficult? Do we need community, and how does it come into being? Perhaps it all begins with the simple fact that we are here—together, in the same moment, in the same place.
