Two world-class museums, one simple ticket—experience Vienna’s finest collections of natural history and art without doubling your effort or expense.
Enter a world of wonder
Kick off your visit at the Natural History Museum on Maria-Theresien-Platz, where the main entrance leads you beneath the grand central dome. After a quick and straightforward security check, you’ll find yourself at the base of an opulent staircase surrounded by marble columns and ceiling frescoes. From there, the museum opens up into 39 exhibition halls filled with everything from prehistoric fossils and Ice Age creatures to meteorites, minerals, and early human artifacts.
Don’t miss the animatronic Allosaurus in the dinosaur hall or the chance to touch a real meteorite. One of the smallest treasures here is also the most famous: the 29,500-year-old Venus of Willendorf, displayed in a quiet, climate-controlled case that draws curious visitors from around the world.
Make your way across the square
Once you've soaked in the natural wonders, head outside and walk across the same square—just a 2-minute stroll—to reach the Kunsthistorisches Museum. It’s the twin of the Natural History Museum, built in symmetrical grandeur directly across the plaza. Enter through the impressive stone staircase leading up to the main doors, where another security check awaits. Inside, you’ll step into an ornate marble atrium with sweeping staircases, arched ceilings, and sculptures that feel like a work of art on their own.
Step into imperial grandeur
At Kunsthistorisches Museum, you can explore galleries filled with masterpieces by Bruegel, Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Raphael, and Vermeer. The Picture Gallery is a must-see, but don’t skip the Egyptian and Near Eastern Collection, where ancient sarcophagi and inscribed stelae bring millennia of history into focus.
The museum’s layout is easy to follow, and helpful signage (in German and English) makes it simple to navigate through painting galleries, antiquities, and decorative arts. The central dome ceiling—painted with allegorical figures—is worth pausing under for a moment of awe.
