On June 21, 2025 the State Haal will only be open starting 1 p.m.
The reading rooms on Heldenplatz and the reading rooms of the collections are closed on public holidays. This also applies to Thursday, June 19 (Corpus Christi).
Regular opening hours apply in the museums; in addition, all museums are open on Whit Monday.
We fulfil song and sheet music wishes, handing over archive material for musical use. The Archives of the Austrian Folk Song Institute is a reference library, making the documents available for scientific examination in the reading room.
We issue ordered books immediately in the reading room. A large set of reference books containing the most important song books and reference works is available for you to use in the reference area.
