89 Fig.: Since 2011, the Joanneum’s main building (now the Natural History Museum and CoSA) and the Styrian State Library (both on the left) have been connected underground to the ‘new’ Joanneum building from 1895 (now the Neue Galerie, on the right) via a visitor centre in the first basement floor of the newly designed Joanneum district.

In 2014, the state memorials, the Rosegger museum at Krieglach and the Rosegger birthplace on the Alpl were transferred from the cultural department to the administration of the Uni- versalmuseum Joanneum. In 2017 the Palais Herberstein/Sackstrasse 16 was repositioned as the History Museum in which the cultural-historical collection is represented with a show depot. A separate exhibition area is dedicated to the multimedia collections, and temporary exhibitions on regional historical themes are shown. Since 2019, the Austrian Open Air Museum in Stübing, north of Graz, has been the latest addition to the Universalmuseum Joanneum. And in the Natu- ral History Museum, the CoSA (Center of Science Activities) will also be set up in 2019 in cooperation with the Graz Children’s Museum ‘Frida & Fred’, in order to provide young people aged ten and over with a playful approach to natural science and technology, thus bringing them back very close to the original founding idea of Archduke Johann.
