Naturhistorisches Museum
-
Designed by Gottfried Semper and Karl von Hasenauer, who also worked on the Kunsthistorisches Museum, the Natural History Museum opened in 1889 and was built as a mirror image of its more famous neighbour, the Art History Museum. The fascinating collections of natural history, geology and archaeology have grown out of Emperor Franz Stephan’s 1748 collection of natural curiosities. The museum’s splendid interior was designed to enhance the objects which today mount up to more than 20 million exhibits. The most precious rarities in the museum’s 39 showrooms are the 25,000-year-old sculpture Venus of Willendorf and a “bouquet of jewels” given to Franz Stephan by his wife Maria Theresa. The Vienna Natural History Museum was voted among the world’s top 10 museums in 2001.
