On the grounds of Eggenberg Palace in Graz
The first stop of my museum trip featuring the locations of the Universalmuseum Joanneum: On the grounds of Schloss Eggenberg (Eggenberg Palace).
Rainbow in the streets of Graz
Amazing! Next to a construction site, I saw this rainbow (bottom left) in the streets of Graz. It was caused by a drizzle, with which the dust of demolition work had been tied. So I had the chance to walk through a rainbow for the first time.
Exhibition ‘5 Farben’ at the MUWA
Tonight, I visited the opening of an exhibition with a work by the German artist Hasso von Henninges named “5 Farben” (5 colours). In this work, the artist displayed all possible combinations if you have combined 5 different colours in paintings made of 3 colours (example).
Art nouveau building in Graz
Art Nouveau building located in a shopping street named Sporgasse in Graz. Well, the building obviously needs a kind of brush-up, but I love this combination of beauty and decay. What do you think?
Party venue Hasenstall in Graz
The entrance of a party venue in Graz named Hasenstall (‘rabbit hutch’).
The painted house of Graz
This colourful house in my city is generally known as Gemaltes Haus (Painted House). Actually it was the seat of a duke until about 1450, so the official name is Herzogshof (Duke’s court). By the way the top down conifers were part of the Christmas decoration at that time.
Coat of arms of Graz
A fine example of the coat of arms of my city Graz. I found it on the wall of the Styrian Armoury located in the town centre.
The fairy tale grotto train of Graz
The old fairy tale grotto train of Graz closed with Jan 8th, and I was one of the last guests.
Wall decoration in Graz
Lovely wall decoration seen at a dwelling house built around 1900 in Graz.
Peacock on the grounds of Schloss Eggenberg
A peacock who knows how to pose is seen on the grounds of Eggenberg Palace (Schloss Eggenberg) in Graz. Since 2010, this palace has been listed as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site.
The winged cow of Graz
The winged cow of Graz seen on a balcony in the centre of the city. Don’t ask me for details, I am not an expert on winged cows 🙂
