The only globe museum in the world. Are you interested in the different planets and their representation over the past centuries? If so, this exceptional museum is for you! The Globe Museum Vienna of the Austrian National Library is located in the Palais Mollard, a beautiful building near the Hofburg Imperial Palace. Here, you and your family impressively follow how the geographical knowledge of these planets has changed over the last several centuries by means of 240 different representations of the earth, sky, Mars and the moon. A visit to this museum can be combined with the Esperanto Museum, where you and your family can learn more about the impressive language of Esperanto, the Heldenplatz and St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna.
For kids and families: Where did the famous explorer Christopher Columbus really want to sail to? Why are there both terrestrial and celestial globes? Why are entire continents missing from some maps? These and other questions are answered during the children’s guided tours. These tours are recommended for kids ages 6-12. Privately-guided tours are offered to schools and private groups of more than 10 persons. Special kids and family events are organized during the school holidays for the general public and as part of Wiener Ferienspiel, in collaboration with WienXtra. When visiting individually, a Combo Ticket is available that will also provide you with access to the Literature Museum Grillparzer House and Papyrus Museum.
