State Museum for Carinthia

[2] The association carried out scientific research and the establishment of a library as well as a presentation of cultural-historical exhibits in the Klagenfurt Landhaus.

The constantly growing collections of the two institutions soon led to space problems, so a commission began planning for a new building in 1877.

On April 24, 1879, the foundation stone for the new building was laid, which was built according to the plans of Klagenfurt architect Gustav Gugitz and financed by an interest-free loan from the Carinthian Savings Bank.

In the post-war period, it was rebuilt with state funds and the cultural and natural science show collections were newly set up.

In January 2020, the plans were presented: The courtyard is to be covered with a transparent glass roof, the Museumgasse is to be made traffic-calmed.
