<p>Island or boat? It isn’t easy to tell with this extravagant steel construction by US-American artist Vito Acconci. <strong>The Island in the Mur, Graz</strong> was commissioned as part of the city’s role as Capital of Culture in 2003. What is clear is its function as a link between river and city, a wonderful place to drink coffee or enjoy a cocktail. With the river Mur swirling cheerfully by on both left and right sides, from the Murinsel you can appreciate a completely new perspective of the city of Graz. The island has brought the river Mur back to the people of Graz.</p>
