On Monday, June 16, a full-day police closure was imposed on Heldenplatz and Herrengasse. The reading rooms at Heldenplatz, in the Picture Archive and Graphics Collection and in the Music and Esperanto Collection as well as the House of Austrian History will therefore remain closed all day.
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.
Ariadne has particularly prioritised making women- and gender-related journals held by the Austrian National Library accessible. We can offer you specific directories and indices for historic documents and current periodicals. Not every issue of each periodical is available. The focus is mainly on historic Austrian women's journals. Most of these have been digitalised and are accessible via the portals ANNO, ÖNB Digital and ALO.
