Sus 39 salas de exposición abarcan desde minerales y piedras preciosas hasta la mayor muestra de meteoritos del planeta, pasando por la sala de los dinosaurios y el gabinete de la Venus, donde se exhibe la célebre Venus de Willendorf, de 29 500 años de antigüedad. Situado frente al Kunsthistorisches Museum, al otro lado de Maria-Theresien-Platz, el museo celebrará en 2026 los 150 años de su fundación.
