Land of mountains, land of songs
Welcome to the Archives of the Austrian Folk Song Institute of the Austrian National Library. It is our duty to collect, archive, document and provide access to folk songs, folk music, folk dancing and folk poetry of the past and present.
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 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.
