The Globe Museum of the Austrian National Library
The Globe Museum of the Austrian
National Library is the only one of its kind in the world. It is the only
institution where globes and globe-related instruments are acquired, studied, and
presented to the general public.
Nowhere else do you have the opportunity to see terrestrial and celestial globes, lunar
and planetary globes, planetaria, telluria and lunaria in their original condition, and
to study the development of globe manufacture, as well as changes in cartographic and
cosmographic knowledge. It is the fact that this collection is so focused yet diverse
that is responsible for its appeal, its cultural-historical importance and its
international scientific reputation. The museum, which is now 60 years old, is
constantly being expanded: It currently houses over 820 objects, thereof 250 are shown
at the permanent exhibition.
