The Austrian National Library's Globe Museum is the only one of its kind in the world. Housed in the listed Palais Mollard, it presents around 250 valuable terrestrial and celestial globes from the 16th century to the present day. There are also globes of the Earth's moon and various planets to discover, as well as instruments in which globes form an integral part, such as planetariums, telluriums and lunariums.

Valuable terrestrial and celestial globes by Gerard Mercator from the 1500s are just one of the highlights alongside the unique collection of globes.
