Archduke Johann was one of the most influential figures in Styrian history. He also had a significant influence on the history in and around Stainz – including that of the castle. Now a new and expanded museum is paying tribute to the eventful life of Archduke Johann.
With the expansion of the museum space in Stainz Castle, a unique cultural centre of excellence is being created for Styria with regard to the achievements of Archduke Johann and the resulting impact on Styria. The Hunting Museum, Agricultural Museum and Archduke Johann Museum at Stainz Castle now form a single unit for the themes that were all shaped by this man. In 7 rooms with an exhibition area of approx. 650 m² on the 2nd floor of Stainz Castle, the Archduke Johann Museum presents the ideas, models, institutions and also difficulties in the life of Archduke Johann with many original objects. This gives the myth surrounding this personality a new perspective on life in the 19th century.
Visitors experience an exciting tour through a cultural history of Styria, with previously unpublished original documents, paintings and watercolours as well as digital copies and the latest electronic communication methods.
