SHOWING STYRIA 2025 "Ambition & Illusion"
400 Years of Eggenberg Palace
2025 marks the 400th anniversary of the decision made by the first Prince of Eggenberg to expand the old family seat into a representative residence. That is reason enough to devote an exhibition to Eggenberg Palace, which is extraordinary in every respect. The new show is designed to throw a new and undisguised look at the palace and all its inhabitants. The UNESCO World Heritage Site forms the core of SHOWING STYRIA 2025, transporting visitors to a seemingly far-off world by means of an innovative, multimedia exhibition.
Eggenberg Palace, located on the western outskirts of Graz in Styria, must be seen as a gigantic calendar: 365 windows, 31 rooms on each floor, 24 state rooms with 52 doors and, in all, 60 windows, 4 corner towers - all allusions to time, to the seasons, to weeks, days, hours, minutes. This number symbolism based on the then new Gregorian calendar is the architectural programme of the palace.
