Universalmuseum Joanneum

Founded as Austria’s first public museum in 1811, the Universalmuseum Joanneum presents a broad range of art, culture and the natural sciences at twelve architec-turally valuable locations—you’ll find a compact overview in this booklet.

In addition to its varied permanent and special exhibi-tions, the Universalmuseum Joanneum will be present-ing ‘landscape’ as its main theme for 2015: The project comprises six exhibitions which can be seen at the Kunsthaus Graz, the Neue Galerie Graz, the Folk Life Museum, the Museum im Palais and the Natural History Museum.

The notion of ‘landscape’ has undergone a radical transformation in recent decades—romantic views of nature are receding into the background. ‘Landscape as a resource’ is becoming increasingly important as the basis of human activities. More information can be found at www.museum-joanneum.at and www.landschaft.com.

We hope you enjoy your visit to the Universalmuseum Joanneum!

The diversity of the museum

Styrian Armoury

A turbulent history

The Styrian Armoury was once the most important weapons arsenal in the south-eastern part of the Habsburg Empire. Built in the mid-17th century by the Styrian estates, its main purpose was to store armour used by simple foot and cavalry soldiers in the 16th and 17th centuries. At the time, the hereditary lands of Styria, Carinthi a, Carniola and the residence city of Graz which formed Inner Austria were located on the frontier of the Empire. This meant that they repeatedly faced threats posed by Ottoman troops and Hungarian rebels from the 15th until the start of the 18th century.

Although the Styrian Armoury had lost its military sig-nificance by the mid-18th century, it remained preserved as a historic monument. Today, it is considered to be the largest historic armoury in the world. 32,000 authentic items of weaponry recall the belligerent past of the region at this unique site. In theory, the weapons on display here could still equip an army of several thousand men—but as exhibits they simply remain silent witnesses to bygone ages wrought with conflict.

The Friendly Alien

The architectural emblem of Graz has livened up the his-toric old town with its striking appearance since 2003— the building was christened Friendly Alien by its architects Peter Cook and Colin Fournier. A special highlight for many visitors is the unique view from the Kunsthaus Needle across the roofscape of Graz.

The exhibitions at Kunsthaus Graz feature contemporary art since the 1960s—from architecture and design through painting, sculpture and photography to the new media and film. The work of Camera Austria, which is also based at the Kunsthaus Graz, focuses on artistic, the-oretical and journalistic explorations of photography.

In 2015, Kunsthaus Graz will be presenting two exhibi-tions centred on this year’s ‘landscape’ theme: Landscape in Motion (13 March–26 October) will be held in associa-tion with Camera Austria, Diagonale 2015 and the Aus-trian Film Museum. It showcases artistic responses to the finiteness of natural resources. HyperAmerica (10 April– 30 August) includes a presentation of hyper-realistic, almost photographic US American paintings from the second half of the 20th century. Other exhibitions include Corporate (26 September 2015–10 January 2016, which will be held in association with the steirischer herbst festi-val) and The Paradise of the Downfall. Hartmut Skerbisch – Media Works (20 November 2015–7 February 2016).

Schloss Eggenberg State Rooms & Gardens

State rooms and gardensThe UNESCO World Heritage Site of Schloss Eggenberg is an unrivalled synthesis of Baroque art—a symbolic re presentation of the universe! One of Central Europe’s most impressive examples of early Baroque interior design, the central Planetary Room features a cycle of paintings by Hans Adam Weissenkircher. It is encircled by 24 state rooms with splendid wall decorations, over 500 ceiling paintings and original interiors that have remained unchanged since the 18th century. In the ‘ Japanese Cabinet’, pictures on a 17th century folding screen depict rare views of the residence city of Ôsaka.

The park is one of Styria’s most valuable horticultural monuments and has seen numerous changes in the course of its history. In the 19th century the Baroque garden was turned into a sumptuous ‘landscape painting’. Interest in the garden waned in the early 20th century; only recently has it been extensively rebuilt as a cultural monument to the Romantic Era.

Special attractions in the Eggenberg Gardens include the elaborate Rose Mound, which was faithfully restored in 2008. With its poetic ensembles, the Planetary Garden also entices visitors to stop and linger.

Masterpieces

The Alte Galerie invites you to take a stroll through the history of European art from the Middle Ages to the end of the Baroque period.

The walk begins with sacred themes that provide an im pression of the world of Christian imagery from the 12th to the 16th century. Alongside major Austrian contribu-tions from the Gothic period, the medieval collection also contains works of major European significance such as the Admont Virgin or the Votive Panel from St. Lambrecht’s Abbey.

Renaissance and Baroque art captivates visitors with le gen dar y worlds of divinity and richly detailed allego-ries. These were later developed in Baroque paintings and executed either in lavish blazes of colour or in emotion-ally charged sculptures. Here, the highlights consist of masterpieces by Lucas Cranach the Elder, Jan Brueghel the Elder and Bartholomäus Spranger as well as paintings by Johann Georg Platzer and Martin Johann Schmidt (aka ‘Kremser Schmidt’).

The Graphics Collection at the Alte Galerie comprises some 15,000 drawings and prints (by Dürer and Rembrandt among others) which are regularly displayed at special exhibitions.

Coin Cabinet Schloss Eggenberg

Coins and history

Coins are more than just means of payment—they also tell you a lot about the nature of political power and the culture of different societies. As the second largest of its kind in Austria, the Coin Cabinet collection enables visitors to reflect on the history of coinage in Styria with the aid of fascinating coin hoards and highlights from the Graz Mint.

The Coin Cabinet is situated in the oldest part of Schloss Eggenberg which dates back to the 15th century. The Balthasar Eggenberger exhibition room is named after the man who built the oldest part of the building and was once Master of the Mint to Emperor Friedrich III. This section of the exhibition sheds light on the inflationary crisis which caused great hardship to people living in what is now Southern Germany and Austria during the 1450s.

The second room is named after Hans Ulrich von Eggenberg, the most important member of the Eggenberg family. The objects on display tell the story of Styrian coins in circulation from ancient times until the end of the 18th century. Carefully selected items document the skill of the Graz Mint where coins were produced from 1215 until it was finally closed down by Maria Theresia.

Archaeology Museum Schloss Eggenberg / Roman Museum Flavia Solva

Archäologiemuseum Schloss Eggenberg Eggenberger Allee 90, 8020 Graz (approx. 3.5 km from city centre) T +43-316/8017-9560 archaeologie@ museum-joanneum.at www.archaeologiemuseum.at

Opening hours all year round; accessible to all. Free admission. Above: Interior view of the Lapidarium On the right: Strettweg Chariot Photos: UMJ/N. Lackner

Traces of life

Objects dating back to classical antiquity, items from Egypt, globally unique finds such as the Strettweg Chariot and other archaeological highlights from Styria offer a starting point for contemplating fundamental questions of human existence. Evident in over 50,000 years of ‘Styrian’ history from the Stone Age to Roman times, these traces of life encourage visitors to explore different eras.

The Archaeology Museum in Schloss Eggenberg’s park presents some 1,200 items from the Joanneum’s collec-tions. The adjacent Lapidarium also displays three ancient floor mosaics and 96 examples of Roman stone artefacts taken from the Universal Museum’s collection.

Roman Museum Flavia Solva Situated in the area of the market town of Wagna, Flavia Solva is Styria’s most outstanding Roman site and resembles a display cabinet which you can walk around. The Roman Museum reveals the history of research into a town that was once one of the most cultivated centres of the Roman province of Noricum.

Museum im Palais

Aristocratic life

Carefully selected items from the Cultural History Collec-tion have been exhibited at Palais Herberstein since 2011. The aristocratic townhouse is one of the most important monuments in Graz’s old town; its staterooms, above all the so-called Mirror Room, have been preserved with their original wall and ceiling decorations. The exhibits shed light on political power, the life style of the aristocracy and courtly education from the Late Middle Ages. Frequentl y, they are closely related to Styria. Highlights of the Museum im Palais include the ‘Styrian Ducal Hat’ (ca. 1400), Frederick III’s late Gothic state coach (ca. 1452) and the unique transverse flute of the French instrument maker and flautist Jean Hotteterre (ca. 1680).

The Museum im Palais will be contributing to this year’s ‘landscape’ theme by staging the exhibition The River Mur. A Cultura l History: 28 August 2015–17 July 2016) which sheds light on the many diverse relationships which people have always forged to Styria’s biggest river.

Everyday things

Everyday items tell stories of the folk they once belonged to. These objects have been gathered in the Folk Life Museum, for example. Here, tangible testimony to social life is collected, preserved and interpreted. ‘Homes’, ‘clothes’ and ‘beliefs’ are the focal priorities of the museum, which originally concentrated on views of rural society prior to the world wars before turning its attention towards researching today’s globalised world that now draws on cultural relics to redefine its roots.

The Folk Life Museum was founded by Viktor Geramb in 1913. It has been based ever since in a former Capuchin abbey dating back to the early 17th century. The interior of the church of St Anthony of Padua, which forms an inte-gral part of the museum, features high-quality paintings by Giovanni Pietro de Pomis and Hans Adam Weissen-kircher, two foremost painters of Graz, the former city of residence in Inner Austria.

The museum contributes to this year’s ‘landscape’ theme with its Styria in View exhibition (20 March 2015– 6 Januar y 2016): It describes how Styria’s landscape was conquered both by tourism and agriculture in the course of history.

From Biedermeier to the presentThe Neue Galerie Graz reviews developments and tenden-cies in the visual arts from the Biedermeier period to the present day, from the systematic capture of reality in the 19th century through the exploration of artistic problems and issues in the early 20th century—including op-art and conceptual art—right through to contemporary painting and sculpture. Highlights include works by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, Egon Schiele, Herbert Brandl, Franz West and Michelangelo Pistoletto. The BRUSEU M, which forms an integral part of the Neue Galerie Graz, presents and researches the multi-faceted, complex work of the world-famous Styrian artist Günter Brus.

With its exhibition Landscape: Transformation of an Idea (19 Jun–6 Sep 2015) the Neue Galerie Graz examines this year’s ‘landscape’ theme by tracing a multimedia arc from 1800 up to today.

Tracking down nature

The Natural History Museum points to the fascinating diversity of animate and inanimate nature and invites visi-tors to set off on an interesting stroll through the fascinat-ing history of the Earth! The exhibits offer insights into the ways landscapes arise, evolve and decline, and how flora and fauna continually respond in multiple ways to processes of transformation.

The ‘Lesliehof’—the Joanneum’s nerve centre which houses the Natural History Museum—has always reflected developments in the natural sciences ever since the museum first opened in 1811.

The Natural History Museum will be contributing to this year’s ‘landscape’ theme with a portrayal of geological landscapes along the Alpine arc: Shifting Landscape (14 May 2015–17 Jan 2016) invites visitors to follow the changes that have taken place from the Matterhorn to the volcanic region in south-eastern Styria—from a bird’s eye view. Also on display: Final Destination—the Sea? The Plasti c Rubbish Project (exhibition hosted by the Museum of Design, Zurich, 17 Apr–23 Aug) and Globe Trotters.

A dialogue between nature and sculpture When art and nature combine, the stories they spin con-stantly change in the course of the seasons. Gardens may be structures designed by human hand but they grow quite naturally. Gardens enter into a relationship with out-door sculptures that are completely exposed to the ele-ments. A distinctive aesthetic and artistic vocabulary begins to emerge in the dialogue between site and sculpture—one in which dreams become visible and spaces are created for poetic encounters.

Situated seven kilometres to the south of Graz, the Aus-trian Sculpture Park has become an established centre of contemporary sculpture ever since it was founded in 2003. This fascinating park, designed by landscape architect Dieter Kienast, covers an area of some seven hectares and provides a ‘developmental space’ for over 70 sculptures. Works by renowned Austrian artists from Fritz Wotruba and Franz West right through to Erwin Wurm, Heimo Zobernig and Michael Kienzer communi-cate here with examples of international sculpture from the likes of Jeppe Hein, Nancy Rubins, Tobias Rehberger and Susana Solano.

Regional diversity

Woodlands and wood, mountains and valleys, beliefs and conviviality—the natural and cultural history of Styria’s Ennstal valley and its Ausseerland lie at the heart of the fascinating landscape museum at Schloss Trautenfels which also features high-quality Baroque interiors and unforgettable views of the surrounding mountains. Ever since the 1950s the Schloss Trautenfels collection has com-bined zoological, geological and mineralogical evidence with ethnological objects und archaeological finds from the region.

Starting with the ‘Of forest and timber’ themed room in the Landscape Museum at Schloss Trautenfels, Forest and Man (a special exhibition that runs until 31 October 2015) tells a rich and fascinating tale about geological and his-torical developments in woods and forests and how people utilise woodland. This varied trail takes the visitor through seven rooms which view woodland and forests from the perspectives of culture and the natural sciences.

Hunting culture

With its Baroque collegiate church, Schloss Stainz defines the look of western Styria’s hilly countryside. Austria’s big-gest hunting museum not only fascinates hunters, either. Historic arms and matériel, magnificent artworks and dec-orative exhibits show just how deeply and diversely hunt-ing is embedded in our culture. The museum traces the history of hunting from the Stone Age right up to the pre-sent day, and an abundance of precious artefacts opens up a rich panorama of hunting themes and fashions. Interac-tive installations help to explain the intriguing interrela-tionships between hunting, wildlife ecology and the natural environment.

Innovative ideas

Just like the Hunting Museum, the second museum at Schloss Stainz refers to the various passions and visions of Archduke Johann. This enthusiastic hunter also encour-aged technical innovations to be introduced in the field of agriculture and farming. The Agriculture Museum testi-fies to the diversity of life and work in farming and for-estry. Historic exhibits and interactive media terminals cover a wide spectrum from pre-industrial times right through to the challenges of the 21st century.

The special exhibition at the Agriculture Museum in 2015 is called The Mystery of Wood. From Roofing to Mountain Biking. It explores the raw material of wood which is used as a design element in innovative and traditional approaches to building. Whether back at home, on the shop floor of a factory or in farming: timber is our daily companion—though a frequently hidden material.

Opening times April–October, Tue–Sun 10am–4pm

Guided tours on request Above: Birthplace On the right: Living room Photos: UMJ/KH. Wirnsberger

Childhood memories

Peter Rosegger remains one of Austria’s most popular poets. He was born the eldest of seven children in this simple 18th-century Alpine farmhouse on 31 July 1843. Living conditions were modest, to say the least: the cook-ing was done over a hearth in the scullery (a kind of smoke room which served as a kitchen) while the central room was used for eating and sleeping—and as a work room, too. Here, visitors can observe numerous furnish-ings and fixtures which testify to simple rural life in the 19th century. Even today, the only way to get to Roseg-ger’s birthplace is on foot: after a half-hour walk through the Alpl woodland, a path eventually leads up to an ensemble of buildings consisting of a home, outhouses, a barn, a rural storehouse and a dried flaxen hut. Rosegger’ s texts often draw on memories of his childhood on the Alpl; in time he coined the notion of ‘Waldheimat’ (‘forest home’) for this magical place. His birthplace was also where he took his first tentative steps towards becom-ing a writer, an endeavour which later grew into an exten-sive body of literary works.

Stages in life

A small exhibition in the former country home of Peter Rosegger (1843–1918) in Krieglach traces the different stages in the life and work of the Styrian poet. The letters, documents, pictures and writings on display indicate that he was in close contact with many artists of his time. These exhibits are presented in what used to be Rosegger’s private rooms—the house was built according to his designs in 1877. His study and the room where he died are on the first floor of the museum. They have been preserved in their original condition and convey an authentic impression of Rosegger’s lifestyle—which stood in great contrast to the living conditions of his birthplace. From being the child of an Alpine farmer he had climbed up the social ladder to become a successful and financially inde-pendent author.

A Thousand Pictures of an Exhibition – enter our photo competition!

Show us your favourite landscape and enter the photo com-petition which accompanies our A Thousand Pictures of an Exhibition project. The show takes this year’s ‘landscape’ theme right to the heart of Styrian regions and showcases very special ‘objects’ that constantly present themselves in a new light over the course of the year: An installation of seven viewing windows, spread throughout Styria, open up vistas of carefully chosen panoramas—from Styria’s alpine roof to the gentle hills of the wine-growing region right through to the unique roofscape of the city of Graz. As a result, thousands of landscapes are ‘framed’ for a few moments—you can simply enjoy these moments or capture them on a photo graph.

If you’d like to enter the photo competition, simply post your favourite photo and you’ll find it on the Internet as well as in various exhibition foyers at the Universalmuseum Joanneum.
