Styrian museums in the shine of the night: experience, discover, participate!

On Saturday, November 6th, the "Long Night of Museums" takes place in Styria, in which numerous museums open their doors from 6 p.m. to midnight. The event promises a diverse program with fascinating exhibitions and numerous events for the whole family. The central meeting point for visitors in Graz is the "Treffpunkt Museum" on Lendplatz.

The Graz Academy is a special attraction with its exhibition "Little Worlds". Here the world is conveyed from the children's perspective by the artist Katharina Swoboda. According to Astrid Kury from the Academy, Swoboda has staged the topic of joie de vivre and creativity through the use of glitter. Visitors have the opportunity to take part in photo shoots and take the resulting works of art home.

interactive experiences for children

In the Archaeological Museum of the University of Graz, young visitors can learn something about antiquity, especially about the "fragrance of antiquity". Here the children can create their own perfumes. In addition to this creative activity, there is an entertaining cabaret presence that revolves around the topic of aging symptoms. Such interactive experiences are optimal to inspire younger generations for history.

The Graz Museum shows in its exhibition "Habitat Graz" what life in the city also looks like for non -human residents. This exhibition invites you to discover the environment and its roommates in a playful way. The "Mini Graz Museum" enables the children to be museum employees themselves and to experience the work in a museum.

philosophical explanations and manual activities

Another highlight of the Long Night is the museum of questions in Grazer Münzgrabenstrasse. This museum deals with blatant philosophical questions, such as "is God a woman?" And "What makes people human?" The workshops that are offered here promote deep reflection on basic aspects of life.

For those who want to experience the craft of past times up close, the Seensenwerk Deutschfeistritz opens. Here, visitors can lend a hand themselves and gain an insight into the time -honored art of Senseschmiedecunstung. These experiences are not only instructive, but also exciting for all ages.
