That middle one: 🤨 (mirrored)

Wow, I got dragged here on a trip 21 years ago and had forgotten about it, thank you! Graz was the European art/cultural city of the year so there were pop-up exhibits all over for all kinds of incredible things so it was hard to see them all or remember. There was an incredible exhibit in the hillside underground caves that those in Graz hid in during bombings. Another was about the biblical tower of Babel that filled an entire manor of 3 or 4 floors, multi-sensory experiences, best exhibit of any art I’ve ever been to.

I saw this post and was really confused as to why I know these statues.

Graz is wonderful! I’ve studied there for years and the cultural display of just this place (which is the armoury in the city center ‘landeszeughaus’) is amazing. It also houses one of the best preserved traditional horse-armour sets.

For anyone who is interested in graz and/or history, once a year graz has a ‘day of the museums’ https://www.graz.net/internationaler-museumstag-29588/ where you can enter all ~18 museums in graz for a very cheap price for a day. Realistically you will never get through them all without sprinting though

Are those helmets stuck up the ceiling, like giant nail heads?

Amazing detail
