Free entry and concessions

The Universalmuseum Joanneum feels an obligation towards all people - especially those who are unfortunately unable to afford admission to our museums due to their current living situation. We therefore support the campaign ‘Hunger for Art & Culture’, which allows us to bring our exhibitions closer to these people too. 
You can find more information about the project here:
