Natural History Museum (Naturhistorisches Museum), Vienna

Best museum of Vienna. Amazing collection. Also nice for kids. Most beautiful cafe. Get a melange and cake. Do the night in the museum tour. It's not as good as it used to be, because those dummies from the city, put lots of bright lights outside that are shining into the museum. There is in general more and more light pollution in the city. They always argue with safety which is honestly BS. Anyway, the tour is still worth it, enjoy.

An amazing museum! One of the best I've been to, regarding nature. The museum building was built just like a palace, it has two floors, divided into different exhibition halls. The first floor, near the entrance to the museum, has a display of gems, minerals, and meteorites (the largest collection in the world). Next to it is a display of fossils and dinosaur skeletons. Next is a display of the Ice Age, and then an exhibition of the evolution and human development, tools etc. At the far end of the floor is the new planetarium building - the observatory, where films related to the galaxy and astronomy are projected. On the second floor there is one of the largest exhibition of stuffed animals, birds, insects, terrestrial mammals and aquatic animals. All collected from around the world. Some of the stuffed animals there have become completely extinct. Highly recommended! * Please note that it is prohibited to take pictures inside the museum.
