Inaugurat el 1889 en un palau coronat per una cúpula a la Ringstrasse, obra de Gottfried Semper i Carl von Hasenauer, el Naturhistorisches Museum Wien acull més de 30 milions d'objectes i constitueix una de les col·leccions de ciències naturals més importants del món. Les seves 39 sales d'exposició van des dels minerals i les pedres precioses fins a la sala dels dinosaures i la col·lecció de meteorits més gran del planeta, passant pel Venus Cabinet, on s'exhibeix la Venus de Willendorf, de 29.500 anys d'antiguitat. El museu s'alça davant del Kunsthistorisches Museum, a l'altre costat de Maria-Theresien-Platz, i el 2026 commemorarà els 150 anys de la seva fundació.
