Tattooed men and women, rejoice! The Natural History Museum (Naturhistorisches Museum) is inviting you. Its special exhibition “Lebensspuren Hautnah: The Cultural History of Tattooing” has been prolonged until the 28th this month. That means you just have to show (off) your tattoo and voila you only have to pay 6 euros instead of the usual 8.

Though I love to visit its more expensive and more popular sister museum which is the History of Arts, the Naturhistorisches is often snubbed by the visitors. There are a lot of interesting stuff one can see inside the majestic halls. One of them is mentioned above.

And to make people more aware of this eight-legged creature called Dornfinger, or Yellow Sack Spider (Cheiracanthium punctorium) in English, which has become sensational ever since reports of attack have been documented last week, is staging two nights discussing the spiders you can find in Austria. That is to combat arachnophobia and stop people from panicking.
