The Natural History Museum faces the Kunsthistorisches Museum across Maria-Theresien-Platz, mirroring its twin in architecture but housing 30 million specimens. Its gem collections and prehistoric objects are among the world's best.
Opened in 1889 to house the imperial natural history collections dating back to the 16th century. The building's ornate interior—marble columns and ceiling frescoes—is as spectacular as the exhibits.
