Kunsthaus Graz | Graz Tourism

 


The Graz Art Museum also referred to as Kunsthaus Graz is an art gallery and museum located in Graz, Austria. You might be wondering why a random gallery is such an amazing and interesting thing you must visit while in Austria. It is one of the coolest designed buildings. The design was created by Colin Fournier in 2003. The Graz Art Gallery is known mostly due to the arectiture and building design but you can also see some amazing examples of modern art. There are no permanent displays so each time you visit you are destined to find and see new art. I think that this is one of the main reasons it is a great secret destination in Austria.
