The Austrian Ministry of Culture awards a yearly prize worth 20,000 euros for outstanding achievements in the field of museum work. This year it goes to the GrazMuseum.
"The Graz Museum has demonstrated with great commitment and a visionary approach what contemporary museum practice can look like. Through courageous exhibitions, it shows how art and urban history can enter into a lively dialog with the public," said Andrea Mayer, Austrian State Secretary for Art and Culture. "Congratulations to the Graz Museum! I am convinced that this museum will continue to be a shining example of innovation, participation, exchange and discourse. Here's to many more successful years!"
"The award rewards an impressive team effort over the last few years," says Graz City Councillor for Culture Günter Riegler, congratulating the team led by museum director Sibylle Dienesch and her predecessor Otto Hochreiter.
