In addition to regular opening hours, the State Hall and the museums of the Austrian National Library be open on May 25, 2026.
On Pentecost Sunday as well as on public holidays the reading rooms of the Austrian National Library are closed.
Whether it be the poems of Ingeborg Bachmann, plays by Ödön von Horvath or novels by Peter Handke, you can find the originals in the Literary Archive, one of the most important institutions of its kind in the German-speaking region. We collect and acquire literary legacies, both pre- and post-death, of Austrian authors from the 20th century (notably from 1945) and make them available for research purposes.
Thank you for your understanding that our blog posts are available in German only.
