Founded on 26 November 1811, the Landesmuseum Joanneum is a multidisciplinary museum in Styria, Austria. It has galleries and collections in many subject areas including Geology, Palaeontology, Mineralogy, Botany, Zoology, History, Art and Folk Culture. It is the oldest museum in Austria as well as the largest universal museum in central Europe with over 4.5 million objects in 20 departments and 13 locations in the Styrian cities of Graz, Stainz, Trautenfels, and Wagna (Flavia Solva). To reflect this status and its growth over the last nearly 2 centuries as well as to present a more recognizable image internationally, the Landesmuseum Joanneum was officially renamed to the Universalmuseum Joanneum on 10 September 2009.
The Joanneum museum was founded by Archduke Johann of Austria.
