With over three million objects of various historical types of media, the Picture Archives and Graphics Department is Austria’s largest centre of pictorial documentation. It is an archive, library, scientific picture agency and reproduction service point for picture orders from all the departments of the Austrian National Library.
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.
