Snow Globe
The enchanting snow globe, now a staple in souvenir stores worldwide, was invented in Austria by the surgical instruments mechanic, Erwin Perzy, in 1900. He came up with the idea while attempting to improve the brightness of the newly invented electric lamp. There are several Graz landmarks to choose as the setting inside your globe – the Clock Tower, Schlossberg and Kunsthaus are some options. Most good souvenir shops, such as Orange and Green, have a good selection.
