The Map Department of the Austrian National Library is one of the world’s most important institutions of its kind due to its comprehensive and valuable holdings. We collect and acquire old and modern maps, plans, atlases, globes, topographical plans, geographical reliefs as well as specialised geographical and cartographic literature and make these available to you.
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.
