The Natural History Museum of Vienna (Naturhistorisches Museum) is one of the oldest and most important natural history museums in the world. Located in Maria-Theresien-Platz, opposite the Kunsthistorisches Museum, it is housed in a magnificent neo-Renaissance building inaugurated in 1889.
The collection includes over 30 million specimens that tell the story of our planet and life on Earth. Among the most famous pieces is the Venus of Willendorf, a Paleolithic statuette over 29,000 years old, and the largest and oldest meteorite on display in the world.
The museum tour includes sections dedicated to paleontology, with dinosaur skeletons, evolution, minerals and gems, up to the hall dedicated to the origin of the solar system. Thanks to modern multimedia tools and the dome with an astronomical observatory, the museum offers an interactive experience for all ages.
The Natural History Museum of Vienna is the ideal destination for those who love science, nature, and discoveries: a must-visit for families, students, and curious minds of all ages.
