Naturhistorisches Museum

The Naturhistorisches Museum Wien is one of the most important natural history museums in the world, housing a collection of about 30 million objects. Its building — a grand “palace of natural sciences” from the late 19th century — is itself architecturally stunning. Inside, you can explore 39 large exhibition halls with dinosaur skeletons, meteorites, rare minerals, and even the famous Venus of Willendorf. There’s also a modern interactive space called Deck 50, which combines a lab, stage, and multimedia area to engage visitors in science. The museum is located at Maria-Theresien-Platz in Vienna and is open Thursday–Monday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (on Wednesdays until 8 p.m.). If you like, I can also tell you about the top must-see exhibits there — do you want me to do that?
