Museum of Natural History Vienna

"This is the largest Natural History Museum I’ve ever visited. It boasts an extensive collection that takes you on a journey through the centuries, from dinosaurs to human evolution, showcasing all kinds of animals, as well as the largest meteorite collection. It’s truly fascinating to see and discover up close the wide variety of once-living creatures. You’ll need at least two hours to explore the entire museum, and even then, it’s hard to focus on every single exhibit. I recommend visiting it either first thing in the morning, when your mind is fresh and you can fully enjoy it, or leave it for the end of your day, giving your brain time to process everything afterward. I remember feeling quite tired after visiting—not because it wasn’t a great museum (it really was!), but because the collection is so vast that I felt overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information, lol. This museum is also included in the Vienna Pass!"

"The Museum of Natural History Vienna, located on Burgring, is a leading institution for the natural sciences, renowned for its extensive and diverse collections. Established in 1889, it features exhibits ranging from minerals and fossils to meteorites and prehistoric creatures, including the iconic display of the largest dinosaur skeleton in Europe. Spend time exploring the museum’s extensive exhibits, especially the impressive dinosaur hall and the renowned collection of gemstones. The museum also offers guided tours and interactive exhibits, which are great for visitors of all ages. The museum's grand building, designed by architects Gottfried Semper and Karl von Hasenauer, was constructed in tandem with the Kunsthistorisches Museum across the street. The stunning architecture of the Natural History Museum reflects the importance placed on science and education during the Habsburg era."
