We are excited to share that Salon Stolz has received the 2024 Austrian Inclusion Award and has been nominated for the European Museum of the Year Award EMYA 2025.
Salon Stolz was awarded the Austrian Inclusion Award 2024 in the Leisure & Culture category with the following justification:
“Salon Stolz in Graz offers an inclusive exhibition about the composer Robert Stolz, which is also accessible to people with different impairments, for example through tactile objects and sign language.”
In cooperation with Lebenshilfe Austria and Austrian Lotteries, eight innovative organisations and initiatives were honoured for their commitment to a more inclusive society and the removal of barriers for people with disabilities.

The Salon Stolz aims to bring Robert Stolz and his extensive oeuvre into the present day and to make the passionate composer and conductor known to the target group of children and families.
Our exhibition consists of seven interactive stations that give visitors a playful understanding of the subject of music. Visitors can, for example, play melody memory, build sound stories or conduct the Graz Orchestra with VR glasses.
The highlight of the museum is the dance theatre “Melodia”. Two dancers take visitors on an enchanting journey through the life of Robert Stolz, which is retold through dance. Dancing along is expressly encouraged.
