Looking a little like some alien life form plunked in the middle of Graz's splendid old architecture, the ultra-modern Graz Art Museum (Kunsthaus Graz) was built in 2003 to mark the city's choice as the European City of Culture.
Focusing on works of contemporary art of the mid-20th Century, the gallery hosts artists from around the world with regularly changing temporary exhibits.
The best views of the building are available at night, when the building lights up like a spaceship. English language guided tours and audio-guides are available.
