Universalmuseum Joanneum: Neue Galerie, Art museum in Graz, Austria.

Neue Galerie Graz is the contemporary art department of the Universalmuseum Joanneum, housed since 2011 in the Joanneumsviertel in Graz. Its collection runs from the early 19th century to the present, with an emphasis on Austrian and international art of the 1970s, including Fluxus, Happening and conceptual works. The holdings grew from a gift of Archduke Johann and from the Joanneum Art Prize, the International Weeks of Painting in Styria and the Trigon Biennale.

The Neue Galerie Graz was created in 1941 when the Joanneum's Landesbildergalerie, founded in 1811, was split into an Alte and a Neue Galerie. The new section took the 19th- and 20th-century holdings to Palais Herberstein at Sackstraße 16, a Baroque palace rebuilt by Josef Hueber before the mid-18th century. Its first director, Hans Riehl (1941–1955), saved the building by securing its dedication as a museum. In 2011 budget restructuring merged the gallery with the Kunsthaus Graz, and it moved to the Joanneumsviertel.

The gallery's name comes from the 1941 split of the Joanneum's Landesbildergalerie into an Alte and a Neue Galerie, the latter taking the 19th- and 20th-century holdings. Since 2002 it has given retrospective shows to Styrian artists with international reputations, among them Erwin Wurm and Günter Brus. An Artist in Residence programme lets three international artists live and work in Graz each year.

The Neue Galerie shares the Joanneumsviertel with other Joanneum institutions, so several collections can be visited on foot in one area of central Graz. Its own exhibitions are presented in changing long-term displays rather than a fixed hang, so what is on view depends on the current presentation.

The gallery's first director, Hans Riehl (1941–1955), saved Palais Herberstein from demolition by securing its official designation as a museum building. The baroque palace on Sackstraße 16, rebuilt by architect Josef Hueber before the mid-18th century, housed the collection until the 2011 move to the Joanneumsviertel.
