[Translated by eTranslation]

The 150th anniversary is an occasion for the Natural History Museum Vienna to take a critical look back at its own history. The desire to collect and the joy of discovering and exploring, which still drives scientists to this day, contrast with the dark sides of collecting and the collections. This resulted in an exhibition that breaks with the usual viewing habits. 

The special exhibition will be on view until 27 June 2027.

Dr. Katrin Vohland, Director General and Scientific Director, NHM Vienna
