Opening hours public holidays Library at Heldenplatz and Departments
The reading rooms at the Library at Heldenplatz are closed on public holidays – and therefore also on Ascension Day (Thursday May 30), Pentecost (Sunday June 9 and Monday June 10) as well as on Corpus Christi (Thursday June 20). This is also valid for the reading rooms of our Departments. The museums are open on a regular basis – from June also on Mondays again.
