The history of the earth and the breathtaking variety of nature can be practically experienced due to 20 million objects: From insects to gemstones and minerals and pterodactyls, the Habsburgs united everything under the roof of this museum near the Imperial Palace. Numerous taxidermy specimens of animals that are either extinct or threatened with extinction make the collection all the more valuable.

If you are craving some culture, the history of our planet and the stunning diversity of nature come to life through an impressive collection of 20 million objects at the Natural History Museum. Ranging from insects to gemstones, minerals, and even pterodactyls, the Habsburgs brought together this remarkable array under one roof.

Founded over 270 years ago, this is a research museum whose origins date back to the imperial collections of the 18th century. The buildings, exhibitions and collections form a total work of art with a unique atmosphere in the heart of Vienna. A must-see of the city.

If you could stay and explore every artefact for days without looking at the same item twice, a couple of hours would also be a good start.

If the Museum seems like a nice attraction, it offers a comprehensive overview of our planet and its history. It highlights the rich diversity of nature, the evolution of life, and humanity’s biological and cultural development. The main museum building and its branches welcome a wide audience. Visitors can explore the wonders of the natural world here.

These venues aim to inspire visitors and foster an appreciation for nature. In today’s era of global change, the museum staff works closely with the international research community. They tackle pressing challenges like climate change and biodiversity loss and also explore the evolving relationship between humans and nature. It is a great way to learn more about our beautiful planet, and only a 15-minute walk from the Continental Hotel.

Don’t forget to check the current exhibitions to make your visit even more special!
