I'm not into dinosaurs or rocks, but thoroughly enjoyed this museum because of the extensive human evolution galleries. There are a number of rooms devoted to Neolithic man up to iron age man. Tools, jewelry, implements, textiles, and a few bones are included. The main draw for me were the two Venus figurines. The most famous is the delightful Venus of Willendorf, found not far away in the Wachau ...

A must see Museum! Enjoyed the Animal exhibit the most. About 2/3 of one floor was closed for remodel, and of course, you find this out AFTER YOU BUY THE TICKET. The Dinosaur, Prehistoric displays were amazing. The Price was reasonable even though parts were closed. I highly recommend this Museum…. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Everything is well organized and clearly explained. You'll need at least three...
