The Museum is housed in an architecturally aesthetic palace, built to house the huge collection of the Emperor of Austria. The museum is home to the collection of artifacts including the 29,500-year-old Venus of Willendorf, The Steller’s sea cow and Enormous Dinosaur skeletons. There are 39 exhibit halls. The Museum's collections range from pre-historic fossils and artifacts to the modern digital planetarium.
A museum devoted to natural sciences? Vienna ticks all the boxes. Some of the remnants of the collection are nearly 250 years old and were opened to the general public after the death of the emperor. The museum also runs expeditions to rainforests, and you can find out more about these on site too. The museum is housed in an old palatial building which has been historically preserved. The museum was previously called the Imperial Natural History Museum, and it also has an entire collection of Dinosaur skeletons and meteorites! As is the case with any good museum, there is also a great museum shop and cafe for you to explore.
