One of the most beautiful natural history museums I have visited (and I've been to a few). Informative tact accompanying the items, and a wide variety of themes each with their own room. We could have spent hours there if it hadn't closed three hours after our arrival.

We went to the Natural History Museum primarily because of my husband's love of rocks and minerals. He is a rockhound and has been collecting since he was a young boy! The rock/gem exhibit was awesome! I even loved it and I'm not a rockhound! Very interesting specimens. We spent a little time in the other parts of the museum (ie dinosaurs, meteorites, etc) but had to move on due to time contraints....and the fact my husband spent so much time looking at the rock exhibits!

Beautiful building inside and out. Very good collection of animal and mineral exhibits but the dinosaur exhibits were lacking. Very hot inside as there was no cooling and disappointed because not only the dino show was only in German, most descriptions of the exhibits were solely in German too.

First I need to mark that, if you are visiting Vienna, then you should leave 3 hours minimum for this Great place - sure just if you have children or a person who likes to see, discover and gain knowledge about many things on earth. From the moment we stepped inside, it was clear that this museum was not just about history but also about having a great time. We couldn't resist the urge to take funny pictures and pretend to be historical figures. It was like stepping back in time and becoming part of the exhibit! We explored the interactive displays and had a blast playing with the props. We dressed in period costumes, striking funny poses, and capturing hilarious moments that will always bring a smile to our faces. The museum's staff were amicable and even joined in on the fun, suggesting poses and taking pictures for us. Overall, our visit to the History Museum of Vienna was educational and an absolute blast. It's a place where learning and laughter go hand in hand. If you're looking for a museum experience that combines knowledge and enjoyment, this is the perfect destination.😄📸

Had a long weekend in Vienna. Weather was incredibly cold so popped in to visit this museum. Fantastic museum with some great exhibits For me though, the building is sensational. The architecture is stunning and the internal features are incredible Loved it

The building and its interiors are gorgeous. Crytals and stone collections are impressive; the collection is huge and well curated for anyone interested. Can’t say the same for the taxidermy and dinosaur collection. For some strange reason, the museum mixes man-made taxidermy with real ones so it can get confusing. Would appreciate if they just kept to displaying real pieces.

We knew even before entering this huge museum that we could not see everything in it in one visit. On this first visit, we saw the vast collection of minerals, stones, gemstones and meteorites! We also visited the halls that show the history of Earth and the fossils... Those fossils are amazing, especially the size of the bones is mindblowing. But when they are assembled in a skeleton, only then can the true size and ferocity of the animals be observed. We continued our visit to the halls that show the evolution during the last ice age and prehistory. But after seeing the famous Venus of Willendorf, we simply had to leave... Of course, we will return!
