In 1806 the museum purchased a collection of European insects made by Johann Carl Megerle of Muehlfeld.
Johann Natterer's journey to Brazil (1817 - 1835) led to an enormous enhancement of the collections- 60,000 insects were a part of the "Brazilian museum" in the "Harrach' house" and escaped the fire.
In 1859 the frigate Novara returned from a world voyage the insects were incorporated in the Vienna collections.

 Johann Natterer
The marriage of Archduchess Leopoldine to the Portugiese crown prince, Dom Pedro of Alcantara (who was later to become Emperor of Brazil) led the bride‘s father, the Emperor Franz I (II), to finance an expedition to Brazil whose duration and expediture were not limited in advance.
Both Schreibers and Metternich suggested Johann Natterer, employed as a taxidermist at the Naturalienkabinett (Imperial Collection of Natural History) since 1809, as scientific expedition leader in Brazil.
In 1831, Johann Natterer married a Brazilian, Mario do Rego, who bore him three daughters during their time in Brazil.

Natterer was a member of the expedition which started in 1817 on the occasion of the Austrian princess Leopoldina's wedding with the Brazilian crown prince Dom Pedro.
Natterer actually was no ichthyologist - he published only one work, on the South American lungfish (Lepidosiren paradoxa) which he mistook for a reptile - but he was a qualified and very talented draughtsman and painter.
Among his most outstanding papers is the one on the family of armoured catfishes, edited in 1853, in which he elaborates on hitherto not examined material from Natterer's gatherings and describes 18 new species.

 .....Naturhistorisches Museum.....
Two sources provided the core for the vertebrate department: the hunting trophies of Habsburg princes and the collection of native mammals and birds purchased by Emperor Franz II (1768-1835) in 1793 from Joseph Natterer (1754-1823, father of Johann [1787-1843] and Joseph Natterer [1786-1852]), a falconer at the Imperial falconry center in Laxenburg near Vienna.
Thanks to especially capable staff members, such as Joseph Natterer, Leopold Fitzinger (1802-1884), and Johann Jacob Heckel (1790-1857), as well as to comprehensive collecting in the framework of carefully planned expeditions (e.g., the Brazilian expedition of 1817-1835), and contributions from private persons, the collection expanded enormously.
Johann Natterer's valuable private collection and his diaries of the Brazil expedition were lost, as were bird and mammal specimens (stored in the attic for lack of space) along with extensive herpetological collections from all over the world.

 Museum of Ethnology, Vienna: History of the collections   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Special mention must be made of the collection belonging to the Austrian explorer of Brazil, Johann Natterer, supplemented by objects Johann Emanuel Pohl and Heinrich Schott had collected (1817-1835), of the Asian/Oceanic collection by Karl Freiherr von Hügel (1839) and the collection originating in the worldwide voyage of the frigate "Novara" (1857-1859).
The main problem of the early years was the absence of a special museum to provide space for a permanent display of the collections.
It is true that Emanuel Pohl and Johann Natterer were heads of the cabinet with experience as ethnographic collectors, but their interests were more focused on botany respectively zoology.

In 1835 Owen was the first to dissect an adult chimp, and he showed that any resemblance to humans didn't last long: as a chimp grew, its humanlike face bulged out with large, sharp teeth and brow ridges, until its facial angle swung far from our own.
While Owen was busy preserving mankind by the slope of its brow, a naturalist named Johann Natterer was thrashing through the Amazon.
It might not have attracted Natterer's attention if he happened on it in a river; it could pass for an ordinary fish, with a body like a pike or a muskellunge, only belied by a squat head and stout lobes for fins.
