Great exhibits with lots of information in German and English about individual pieces and artists. I liked the variety, with many artists displayed but arranged thematically. I particularly enjoyed the Gottfried Helnwein exhibit, it's very well put together and has a lot of interesting information about his information for most pieces displayed. Plenty of free lockers available to store your things for a €1 deposit, which the woman working the cloakroom gladly directed people towards instead of taking their money, which I appreciated. Overall nicely run and easy to spend 2-3 hours here.

One of the best natural history museums I've been to, and I go to a lot. Most information is provided in 4 languages. It's very interactive with games and activities, as well as touchscreens with information about the exhibits themselves. I particularly liked the information about ethical collecting, and how the museum itself has not always gone about things 100% ethically but now strives to do so and to educate others on the topic. My favourite part was the temporary "Giants" exhibition, which had life size sculptures of some extinct megafauna incorporating their fossilized remains. It had lots of info about each of the featured animals. The museum was pretty empty when I went other than some school groups, and I would definitely recommend going at quieter times if possible so that you can do the activities and games without waiting.
