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 opening times at Heldenplatz are from Monday to Sunday from 9 am to 9 pm. The collections are open as usual (» summer opening times from July 1 until September 30). In all areas, visitors are required to wear a face mask, also at the reading desk.
Trainings on site can take place again. An overview of current dates (trainings on site and webinars) can be found on the » website. We are happy to offer further individually agreed appointments, including online-training courses on pre-academic work for schoolchildren, more information at information@onb.ac.at.
Please note that the Library at Heldenplatz and our collections are closed from Sunday 25 July until Thursday 5 August 2021. For the State Hall and our museums the usual opening hours apply.
