    With around 30 million collection objects, the Natural History Museum in Vienna (NHM) is one of the most important natural history museums in the world and one of the largest museums in Austria.

    That as k.k. Natural history court museum-run house that houses the large imperial collections of the k.k. Hof-Naturalenkabinette was commissioned by Emperor Franz Joseph I. by the court ruler according to the designs of Gottfried Semper and Karl Freiherr von Hasenauer on the Vienna Ringstrasse, which opened in 1865, opposite the imperial Hofburg in the style of Viennese historicism and opened on August 10, 1889 . The Hofรคrar was taken over by the state of German Austria on November 12, 1918, which became the Republic of Austria in 1919.

      The museum houses world-famous and unique exhibits, such as the 29,500-year-old Venus of Willendorf, the extinct Steller's manatee or giant dinosaur skeletons over 200 years ago. Furthermore, the world's largest and oldest meteorite collection with the spectacular new addition, the Mars meteorite "Tissint", the anthropological permanent exhibition on the origin and development of man and the new Prehistoric Schausรคle with the Venus and the Gold Cabinet are among the highlights of a tour through 39 Schausรคle. However, because time does not stop in a Palace of Science, the new Digital Planetarium was presented on the occasion of the 125th anniversary. With full-dome projection technology, visitors are virtually, but scientifically accurate, for example at the edge of the galaxy galaxy or the Saturnringen brings. In the research departments of the Natural History Museum Vienna about 60 scientists carry out current basic research in various fields of natural sciences, biology and humanities. This makes the museum an important competence center for public issues and one of the largest non-university research institutions in Austria.

        Opened in 1889, it houses over 30 million exhibits of mineralogy and paleontology. The most famous exhibit is the "Venus of Willendorf" - a more than 25,000-year-old limestone statuette.
