Library, Collections and Museums
The library, the collections and museums are open as usual.
Please bring your 2G proof. FFP2 masks have to be worn everywhere in the building. Also at the reading desks.
The Austrian National Library will automatically extend all currently valid annual library cards of all categories free of charge after the reopening for the duration of the corona-related closure period (20 days). Holders do not have to take any further steps.
