The whole world under one roof
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.
Please note that the Library at Heldenplatz and our collections are closed from Thursday 25 July until Monday 5 August 2019. For the State Hall and our museums the usual opening hours apply.
The reading rooms at the Library at Heldenplatz are closed on public holidays – and therefore also on Assumption Day (Thursday August 15). This is also valid for the reading rooms of our Departments. The museums are open on a regular basis.
