Fun for the whole family
The safety of our visitors is our top priority. Therefore, hand disinfectants are available at all museums. We ask you to bring your own mouth and nose mask and to wear it during the entire stay (children under 6 years of age are exempt). Please keep distance of at least one meter (exception: people who live in the same household). We also ask for your understanding if there are short waiting times at some locations due to the prescribed personal limits.
Do you value appropriate guided tours for your children? Even the youngest visitors to the Austrian National Library have their proper place. Whether it be private child-appropriate tours for groups of ten or more persons, public events as part of the “Wiener Ferienspiel” in cooperation with » WienXtra or special children’s events on public holidays and during school holidays: you are sure to find the right leisure programme for your children at the Austrian National Library.
