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.
Due to the restoration of the State Hall, the service desk at Josefsplatz will be open daily from 1 July - 31 December 2022 only from 8 am to 2 pm. We kindly ask you to purchase day tickets after 2 pm either online or at one of the other service desks of the Austrian National Library. Thank you for your understanding!
The reading rooms at Heldenplatz and the collections are closed on October 26 and November 1. On November 12 the reading rooms and collections close at 12 noon.
In the museums the regular opening hours are valid.
