Nice small museum, great presentation of nature & natural flowers. If you have an extra hour or two this would be a nice relaxing stop.

Went to Graz in October - had the art museum on our to-do list. It is certainly an 'interesting' building, which looks quite spectacular at night, but it seems totally out of kilter with the baroque churches and fine old squares that characterise Graz, a beautiful Habsburg city - a matter of taste (or lack of...) I guess. The cafe was great - a jolly place full of students - the actual art museum less so, the main problem being the paucity of any actual art! There were a few 'interesting' exhibits on one floor (see photos), with the usual incomprehensible explanatory plaques (either in English or auf Deutch...), but the rest of the place looked to be a 'work in progress'! Nice views of Graz from an upper gallery though. If planning a visit, I would certainly wait until there is 'something on' in terms of an exhibition. It is certainly not like the great art museums we have visited fairly recently in say, Strasbourg, Cologne or Lisbon.
Very modern Museum on the river bank. Houses temporary exhibitions on two floors accessible via moving ramps. One of the exhibitions focused on voices and noises . An other one on political power. In the latter there was a tryptic video of a grand mother and her two very young grand daughters reading aloud together the Karl Marx Das Kapital book. Absolutely hilarious.
I visited Kunsthaus Graz today and saw the Voice exhibition (don’t remember the full name) among other exhibitions, an experience I won’t forget soon. The building itself is already surreal, like a blue heart resting in the middle of Graz. Inside, the exhibition about voice was strange, a bit eerie even. Dark rooms, whispered sounds, disembodied voices, it felt like the art was speaking to me, or maybe through me. Some moments were unsettling, others deeply moving. Not your usual gallery visit, but that’s what made it so interesting.
One of the most interesting buildings in the city, very close to the historical center. There are always multiple art galleries or exhibitions and they change time to time. When we visited, we saw Camera Austria - Destroying Photography, Poetics of Power and 24/7 Work Between Meaning and Imbalance. The entrance price is fair. The visiting duration would change from person to person but on average I would say 1-1.5 hours.
Great exhibitions and something for everyone. I went here with some friends and everyone enjoyed it. It is great that it is included in the year ticket and at a great price for students.
Unfortunately, I haven't found a word that can accurately describe the mediocrity of the so-called "art" that is displayed in this exhibition center . I will say though that this ugly building, from the outside, does allow for a nice view on the Schlossberg, and that the staff was very nice. The shop is not bad either.
It is a museume everyone should visit. The expositions I happened to find there today were really beautiful. Especially the “ faking the real” ! I have no words about the design - it was perfectly built to be a moderm museum. Don’t miss the hall with the great view on the last floor !!
Overall the Art you can see is breathtaking. The theme today was :feminism, violence and somethings really took my breath. You saw things that disgust you, shook you and made you rethink society. Sadly, the price (10,50€) is a bit pricey for seeing not that much. But still a big recommendation.
Nice place very interesting close to other tourist attractions not far in the city easy access strange looking
The museum is known not only for its impressive exhibitions, but also for its unique architectural structure. Many call him the "friendly alien" because he stands out among all the traditional baroque buildings around him. The museum has no permanent exhibition, but a variety of temporary exhibitions that present different types of modern art, so that even if you were here once, it is worth visiting here also for the second time! The admission fee is reasonable. It is recommended to purchase the entrance ticket in advance through the museum's website. The museum is located at Lendkai 1. Opening hours: Tuesdays to Sunday from 10: 00-17: 00. How long should I visit? Between two and four hours.
The building, very particular and in great contrast to the surrounding buildings, was inaugurated in 2003, the year Graz was European Capital of Culture. On the ground floor there is a shop and a bar while the exhibition area is on the upper floors. Very nice view from the top floor. There are not many works hosted, but we found the structure interesting.
A beautiful place, wasted with an exhibition on the water very poor in ideas and content: a real mortal boredom. To be avoided.
Kunsthaus Graz Museum Entrance Ticket Graz The friendly Alien, A flop of the special class The "exhibition" is a total flop. Seems some art students in the first semester dumped their trash. Is that all our elite can do? Shame on you. After all, it is a sign of the decline of a civilization. Incidentally, 4 million public funds are burned.
Since I wasn’t in Graz with my friends for long we just wanted to look at the most necessary and we thought this was a good option for us. However, we could have used our time a lot better than looking at some hard-to-interpret artwork. The entrance fee is also a lot too high.
It is not uncommon for me to visit museums in different parts of the world and there is always a rough correspondence between the location of the museum and its display. For example, I do not expect to see in the ethnographic museum in Cetinje (Montenegro) what can be seen in the Museum of Modern Art in New York or the Prado Museum in Madrid. But what do I mean? The fact is that Kunsthaus is in the heart of Graz, Austria's second largest city, which claims to be the European Capital of Culture. The museum building itself is a challenge to everything that surrounds it and fascinates the imagination with its architecture against the backdrop of classic castles and palaces. With great enthusiasm and hope, I purchased a ticket and spent a long time trying to find something new or at least interesting among the museum's exhibits, but alas and ah. The exhibition was more like a student exhibition at the youth palace in Nizhny Tagil. I'm sure it would look a lot more organic in Nizhny Tagil. To sum up, I can only recommend touring the museum outside and eating downstairs at the cafe, which has nice coffee and salads.
The Kunsthaus Graz is certainly one of the most striking sights in the city of Graz. This is due to the funky, amorphous appearance of the blue building. We found the contrast to the historic old town exciting, but the design probably won't appeal to everyone. Entry to the Museum of Contemporary Art is free for Graz Card holders, otherwise you pay €11. It is open daily except Mondays from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The external view is architecturally beautiful and gives the otherwise sweet old town flair a futuristic touch, giving Graz city centre a unique expression. The works of art on display are, however, at best student bar level and therefore the entrance fee of 11 euros is certainly not justified. The analyses and descriptions of the works used for interpretation take some getting used to and are macabre or non-existent, making it an act to even find out about the artist, quite different from other art exhibitions that one knows from other European art houses. I don't even want to start with the spelling mistakes in both German and English, let alone the lack of signs or demarcations for health protection from toxic materials. So it's more of a laugh for real art lovers, but definitely helpful for those interested as an introduction.
The Kunsthaus impresses with its uniquely modern architecture. It is located right in the city center of the city. A trip there is worthwhile!
2 points not to put 1 because the architecture of the building is unique, we do not like or do not like, but it is really original, the building marks the city. On the other hand, the exhibitions inside are a huge joke. And to think they call it art...
Already a highlight from the outside , I really liked it from the inside. Always new perspectives and surprising lookouts. The current exhibition about the future in Styria has very different contributions, not everything appealed to me the same, but it is interesting in any case. With the ticket vpn Schloss Eggenberg in the morning we even had free admission.
Nice house, seen from the outside. But from the inside it is quite generic and dark - it doesn't really work like a museum building. Visits are quickly over. Nice view from above, but if you have seen building up from Schlossberg, you may not have to go into the museum. It is quite small and not interesting from the inside on the 1st and 2nd floor.
An architectural masterpiece. Light shade, the rooms sensational. Entrance fees moderate. A Graz visitor must visit the Kunsthaus. Smoking area available at the entrance.
