Endowed by Archduke Johann in 1811, the Natural History Museum - part of the larger Universalmuseum Joanneum group of city-owned cultural institutions - is one of the most important museums in Graz.
Spread over several floors, its large collections include many artifacts, specimens, and displays relating to geology, zoology, and botany.
You'll also learn about the history of the region since the time of the earth's formation thanks to its fascinating displays of fossils and exhibits on Ice Age creatures and ancient volcanoes.
