In the coming year, the Universalmuseum Joanneum covers a wide range of themes in 25 new exhibitions. Among the highlights is the comprehensive show with views of Graz and Styria in the History Museum, which is based on the gift made by Karl A. Kubinzky.
In the summer the Kunsthaus Graz devotes a retrospective show to the painter Herbert Brandl and the Neue Galerie Graz sheds light on the work of both known and unknown Styrian women artists from 1850 onwards.
In the Schloss Stainz Hunting Museum, the theme is the role of the female hunter as it has developed historically to the present day, while in the Natural History Museum the focus is on the life of ants, often given too little attention.
You can find an overview of the exhibitions and all program highlights in 2020.

KiöR – Mobile Navigation App
As part of a course at the FH Joanneum Graz in the field of study of information design intoto, a young start-up team was commissioned by the Institute of Art in Public Space Styria to design a mobile navigation app under various premises, in order to make art in public space in Styria accessible in an entertaining way. Thus, you can enter your location, the kind of transport and the time available, to be guided from one artwork to another. The app is intended to contain not only all projects realised by the institute, but also other works and relevant locations for public space, reaching back to 1945.
