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 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.
