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!

It was absolutely amazing! Many many things to see, even my 10 year old enjoyed very much! Wouldn’t recomrnd with small child because there are many satira and the place is huge, you have to walk a lot.

Absolutely incredible museum. Not only is it visually stunning but it houses some incredible collections. They seemingly have every species of bird ever located, it’s crazy! Some really unusual ones too. As well as an array of animal species, fossils, and crystals. Incredible! Also has an amazing cafe.

This museum is absolutely incredible. Not only is it visually stunning, but it also houses some truly remarkable collections. They seem to have every species of bird ever discovered, including some exceptionally rare ones. In addition to an extensive array of animal species, fossils, and crystals, the museum offers an extraordinary experience. And let's not forget about the amazing cafe they have—it's the perfect place to relax and reflect after exploring the wonders within.

Fantastic, very rich museum. Should be fun for young and adults. You could spend an entire day there. Plenty of dinos, ice age creatures, insects and such. Some expositions lack English descriptions sadly. Seriously, unless you wanna rush through, make sure you got plenty of time! Funny thing - day later we visited twin museum (Kunsthistorisches), and for some reason that one had AC and this one doesn't. Pity!

A great museum to learn about the whole history of Vienna from the creation to Vienna to now. It was well organised as each section showed a certain timing in history. There is also some activities you can do which are linked to the belief of "said" period. A must to do in Vienna as it free so perfect for families as well

Having visited many Natural History Museums in usually capital cities around the world, I was kind of wondering what this museum has in its collection. And I must admit, it is quite impressive and does match the great museums worldwide. It is also housed in a beautiful building fit for purpose which adds to the grandeur. Being an old building, you must take into account that it does not have airconditioning so on a hot summer day, it is also rather hot inside, especially in parts of the museum that face the sun. Touring the museum will take you at least two hours, but you can easily also spend half a day if you take a bit more time and have a more detailed look on what is on display. Entry is not cheap and no discounts are offered, but it is worth it. You can buy tickets at a ticket office but also easily online.

This is an absolute must-see in terms of the richness of its collection. It’s like waking inside an encyclopedia. The building itself is a true marvel. The exhibits are shown in an “old-fashioned” way, however, they’ve tried to make it as interactive as possible in some spots. HUGE disadvantage: there is no air conditioning. Nowhere: not the halls, not the café. On a summer day this takes away all the pleasure from viewing. People were really struggling.
