Being a chemist (a very long time ago), I loved the exhibits on the formation and abundance of the elements. There are many excellent exhibits that are well displayed with informative notices in German and English.

Man-Made Splendour at the Vienna Natural History Museum. And so it is, yet, despite not particularly great weather, the museum felt almost empty. Set in a beautiful imposing building, that sits opposite Vienna’s Kunsthistorisches Museum, the city’s natural history museum is considered to be one of the finest in the world. Vienna’s equivalent was empty in comparison. You’d certainly need to queue for the dinosaurs and probably have to shuffle past them as part of a gaggle of impatient children and out-of-patience parents. If you went to London’s Natural History Museum over the Easter weekend, you’d be crammed in, forced to move about as part of the mob. With small children it’s important no to be too ambitious, so we largely visited only one per day. Vienna has over 100 museums it would be impossible to visit them all in a single visit. This second piece focuses on the brilliant museums we visited. A few weeks ago I posted my first piece on the city of Vienna, on how great it is for GeekDads and their children.
