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.
The reading rooms at the Library at Heldenplatz are closed on public holidays – and therefore also on December 8, 24, 25, 26 an d 31 an January 1 an 6. This is also valid for the reading rooms of our Departments.
The service desk at Josefsplatz (State Hall) will be closed on Tuesday, December 3, 2019, from 5.30 pm to 6 pm due to an event. The opening times of the State Hall and the library facilities of the Austrian National Library are not affected. Please take into account this short closing time for your visit.
