	Naturhistorisches Museum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Naturhistorisches Museum (Museum of Natural History) is a large museum located in Vienna, Austria.
		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.

	Kunsthistorisches Museum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The two Ringstraße museums were ordered to be built by the Emperor in order to find a suitable shelter for the Habsburgs' formidable art-collection and to make it accessible to the general public.
		The museum's primary collections are those of the Habsburgs, particularly from the portrait and armour collections of Ferdinand of Tirol, the collections of Emperor Rudolf II (the largest part of which is, however, scattered), and the collection of paintings of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm.
		One of the museum's most important sculptures, the Saliera ([1]) by Benvenuto Cellini, was stolen on May 11, 2003 and has been lost since then.

	Workers & Collections -- fossil Diptera cat.
		The collections and types of Heer are in the Eidgenossische Technishe Hochschüle-Zentrum, Zürich, the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna, and the Badische Landessammlung für Naturkunde, in Karlsruhe, Germany.
		Kalugina was primarily a fossil nematoceran dipterist (especially dealing with Chironomidae and related families) and contributed significantly to the current knowledge of the systematics and classification of fossil Diptera of the Far East and Siberia and the Jurassic and Cretaceous deposits of Central Asia.
		The paleontological collections of this museum are known primarily for their holdings of animals and plants taken from the La Brea and McKittrick tar pits.

	GEORG FREY
		As a wealthy businessman, Frey was able to create (in 1950) his own Coleoptera museum, the Museum G. Frey, which has long been recognized as the world's largest and most extensive private collection of beetles.
		Part of the museum's three million specimens were collected during 36 expeditions to all parts of the world, with a number of them led by Frey himself.
		After a somewhat acrimonious battle over possession of the collection, it was moved to the Naturhistorisches Museum Basel in Switzerland in 1996.

	Great Museums - Berlin, Vienna & Turin Tour
		A full day will be spent in East Berlin visiting the Pergamon Museum, which houses antiquities from both the ancient Orient and the Greek and Roman worlds, and the Altes Museum, which now exhibits the antiquities collection formerly in the Charlottenburg and part of the material from the Pergamon Museum.
		Among its treasures are the 18th-dynasty sculpture of Thutmosis III, the gold of Nagyszentmiklos and the Gemma Augustea cameo.
		Our last morning of museum touring begins at the Egyptian Museum, which houses one of the richest Egyptian collections in Europe, including the Rock Temple of Thutmosis III originally from Ellessya south of Aswan, and ends at the Galleria Sabauda, with its two floors of outstanding paintings.

	Naturhistorisches Museum (Natural History Museum) \| Museum/Attraction Review \| Vienna \| Frommers.com
		Housed in a handsome neo-Renaissance building near the Museum of Fine Arts, this is the third-largest natural history museum (after its counterparts in New York and London) in the world, with the oldest collections.
		It was established by the husband of Empress Maria Theresa (Franz Stephan von Lothringen) in 1748, who donated one of its major art objects (a personal gift to him from his wife) to the collections at the time of his death.
		The museum also holds an important collection of early Stone Age artifacts, the best-known and most evocative of which is the Venus of Willendorf, whose discovery in Lower Austria in 1906 attests to the area's ancient habitation.

	exhibit research \| Vienna Naturhistorisches Museum
		Directly across from the identical Kunsthistorisches Museum as seen below, Vienna's natural history museum opened in 1889 (around the same time as those in London and New York).
		In fact, the Naturhistorisches Museum has some 43,000 humans skulls, the largest collection in the world, with some dating back 40,000 years.
		At 25,000 years old, this limestone fertility symbol, the "Venus of Willendorf", is the museum's most valuable artefact.

		Although the greater part of the collection of finds from the site had not yet been unpacked, MacCurdy reported excitedly that before he left Vienna Szombathy had very kindly shown him a single remarkable specimen - a human figurine, full length, carved out of stone
		The statuette, which measures about 11.1 centimeters in length, is now in Vienna's Naturhistorisches Museum.
		It was carved from a fine porous oolitic limestone not found in the region and so must have been brought to the area from another location.

		Clearly the female reproductive anatomy has been exagerrated, and therefore experts think it likely that it represented a fertility symbol, perhaps carried by a male hunter/gatherer as a reminder of his mate back home.

	Herpetology - The Lizards of New Caledonia
		My interest in the lizard fauna of New Caledonia began when Peter Rankin and I undertook a visit to the island in December 1978.
		At that stage very little field research had been conducted since a major expedition by Jean Roux and Fritz Sarasin in 1911-12.
		During their time on the island Roux and Sarasin gathered a substantial scientific collection of reptile specimens, which was lodged in the Naturhistorisches Museum in Basel.
