Full description

The Natural History Museum Vienna stands on Maria-Theresien-Platz, facing its architectural twin, the Kunsthistorisches Museum. Its collections range from dinosaur skeletons to meteorites, displayed in a grand building with a marble staircase and painted ceilings that visitors often mention before the exhibits.

Families report that children enjoy it, and reviewers regularly spend around three hours without noticing the time. Plan at least two hours, and consider half a day if you like to read and explore at leisure.

The building is as much a draw as the specimens.
