About the
Exhibition

The special exhibition Graz 1699 at the Museum of Archaeology transports visitors into the vibrant atmosphere of the city of Graz in the 17th century and offers an impressive immersive experience. The focus is on a digital reconstruction of Baroque Graz based on historical engravings and enriched by selected archaeological finds from the city centre of Graz and Schloss Eggenberg.

 

The visualisation will have a special recognition value for Graz residents: Some iconic buildings, such as those on the main square of Graz, still exist today, while others have long since disappeared.

 

This innovative presentation builds a bridge between the World Heritage Site of Schloss Eggenberg and the vibrant heart of the historic centre of Graz. The exhibition allows visitors to experience a part of the rich history of the provincial capital in a completely new, captivating way.
