Graz Museum digital

The digital transformation affects all areas of life. The Graz Museum and The Municipal Archive Graz fulfill their memory function firmly anchored in the present. Both institutions have set themselves the task of dealing creatively with these changes as part of their digital strategy, using new technologies, developing digital tools and using them to fulfill their respective core tasks. Digitalisation becomes an integrative part of the work of both institutes and follows the basic values ​​of digital culture: user-oriented, free, open culture, mobile and flexible.

Together with you, we show and tell a piece of the city’s history: With the topotheque Graz, we collect your view of the city and show what everyday life in Graz feels like or which places play a special role.

Old and new commemorative objects tell about the city, its places and the people who live there, are out and about and do something.
