History Of The Collections
The earliest collections of the Natural History Museum Vienna date back more than 250 years. It was Emperor Franz I Stephan of Lorraine, Maria Theresa’s husband, who in 1750 purchased what was at the time the world’s largest and most famous collection of natural history objects from the Florentine scholar and scientist Jean de Baillou. This was the first step on the road to creating the Natural History Museum Vienna.
Baillou’s collection comprised 30,000 objects, including rare fossils, snails, mussels, and corals, as well as valuable minerals and precious stones. Unlike many other ‘chambers of wonders’ (“Wunderkammern”) assembled by members of the nobility at the time, this collection was categorized according to scientific criteria even at this early stage.
The Emperor loved his collection and was said to visit it every day. He spared no cost in his quest to expand it. For example, it is reported that he paid the enormous sum of 4000 guilders for a very rare and precious wentletrap snail (Epitonium scalare) – equivalent to a year’s salary for one of the most senior members of his court.
Franz I Stephan of Lorraine, who founded the Schönbrunn zoo in 1752 and the botanical garden in 1753, also organized the first scientific overseas expedition. In 1755 he commissioned Nicolaus Joseph Jacquin to travel to the Caribbean, the Antilles, Venezuela, and Columbia. Jacquin returned from this expedition with many live animals and plants for the zoo and the botanical garden, as well as 67 cases full of other items of interest from the natural world.
Museum Of Enlightenment And Research Center
After the Emperor’s premature death, Maria Theresa gave the natural science collection to the state and opened it up to the general public. Thus she created the first museum in line with the principles and visions of the Enlightenment.
Maria Theresa was not a passionate collector. Yet, as a ruler she recognized the practical importance of the natural sciences for her empire. Mineralogy was of particular interest to her because of the potential it held for mining and exploiting raw materials in the lands belonging to the empire.
It was Maria Theresa who brought the famous mineralogist Ignaz von Born to Vienna. Born, who had developed a new method of extracting precious metals, was tasked with classifying and expanding the collections. To this end he had minerals from many different regions sent to Vienna, where they were added to the collection. Under the leadership of Ignaz von Born the cabinet of natural history quickly developed into a center of practical research.
Born was not only a famous mineralogist but also a well-known Freemason. Some historians believe he was the inspiration for the character Sarastro in Mozart’s The Magic Flute.

#History
One of the museum's halls
The history of the Natural History Museum Vienna is shaped by the passion for collecting of renowned monarchs, the endless thirst for knowledge of famous scientists, and the spirit of adventure of travelling researchers. True to the spirit of the inscription carved into the front of the museum, scientists at the NHM Vienna have over the centuries dedicated themselves and their work “to the realm of nature and its exploration”.
While in the 19th century this was expressed through major imperial research expeditions to little-known corners of the Earth, today it can be found in modern DNA analysis methods and meteorite research providing insights into unfamiliar worlds and the outer extremes of our cosmos.
