ATTENTION: The facility can only be visited by booking a guided tour beforehand! WELT DER GIFTE IS AUSTRIA’S smallest and most toxic zoo & museum. Located in Salzburg, the facility is home to a surprising number of reptiles, amphibians, and arthropods—but only of the venomous & poisonous kind. Originally founded in Germany in 2017, the WdG aims to spread knowledge about poisons and their role in various aspects of life. After a temporary closure, it was opened in Salzburg in 2020. While the focus is on toxic animals, it also includes organic as well as inorganic toxins such as poisonous plants and seeds, mushrooms, microorganisms, poisonous elements and their various compounds. The facility can only be visited by booking a guided tour beforehand. Additionally, training courses, workshops and photo sessions are offered on individual demand.
