Скачать или смотреть Austrian National Library - Vienna, Austria

Built in 1726, as a court library to the Hapsburgs, the Austrian National Library is now one of the world’s major libraries, with an extraordinary collection that dates back to the 14th century. The current collection contains around 2.5 million books.

Visitors can visit many special collections in addition to the main halls, which include prints, maps, papyri, portraits, music, and theater. But the magnificent library itself is the focal point here. Among the exhibitions are two exquisite Venetian baroque globes — one for the Earth and one for the sky, each with a diameter of more than one meter.

TIP: Watch library employees slip through concealed passageways, hidden in between bookcases.
