The Austrian National Library was built in 1722 in a wing of the Hofburg Palace. Emperor Charles VI ordered its construction. The library was built by Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach according to the plan of his father, Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach.
The National Library of Austria has four notable museums. Examine ancient spools in the Papyrus Museum, learn a global language in the Esperanto Museum, or watch early merchants sketch their discoveries in the world's only Museum of the Earth. If you can read German, you'll have plenty of reading material with the National Building's large collection containing millions of books. Music lovers can admire one of the largest music collections in the world.
