Good to know
The artGarden (kunstGarten) is a unique cultural venue and open-air museum located in the Gries district of Graz. Covering around 1,300 m², it combines contemporary art, garden culture, nature, and science. Visitors can explore artworks, historic roses, a garden library, a video archive, as well as changing exhibitions and cultural events.
The artGarden is located at Payer-Weyprecht-Straße 27 in the Gries district of Graz. Situated southwest of the historic city centre, it is easily accessible by public transport or bicycle.
The artGarden is open throughout the year. Regular opening hours are Friday and Saturday from 3.30 pm to 7 pm. Additional visits can be arranged by appointment. Guided tours are offered on Fridays and Saturdays at 4 pm.
The “Archive Hortopia” collection includes contemporary art, historic and modern roses, gardening tools, a specialist library with more than 4,000 books spanning five centuries, a video archive, and a street gallery. The venue also regularly hosts exhibitions, readings, concerts, film screenings, and workshops.
The artGarden is one of Graz’s lesser-known cultural attractions and offers a distinctive experience beyond traditional museums. Its combination of art, nature, literature, science, and garden design creates an inspiring atmosphere that is rarely found elsewhere.
