Did You Know?
The Landeszeughaus in Graz holds about 32,000 pieces of 15th to 18th century armour and weaponry, kept where they were stored rather than curated into a museum. It was preserved because the province argued it needed them in case the Ottomans came back.
The clock: Graz keeps UTC+1. Its Schlossberg clock tower famously has the hands reversed — the long hand shows hours, the short one minutes, a legacy of when only the hour was worth painting.
