Introduction

To understand how Graz grew from a frontier stronghold into a cultural capital, the city museum is the fastest entry point. Housed in a historic building on Sackstraße, its permanent exhibition runs on a timeline: medieval walls and burgher uprisings, the era when the Habsburgs ruled Inner Austria from here, photographic records of Second World War bombing, through to the turn-of-the-millennium European Capital of Culture transformation. Historic city models let you match the streets underfoot with the town plan of centuries past. Modest in size, it slots perfectly before a Schlossberg climb.
