Description

Essentials about the Sigmund Freud Museum in brief

It is probably the most famous address in Vienna: Berggasse 19 in Vienna’s 9th district. Sigmund Freud, the creator of psychoanalysis, lived and worked here for 47 years from 1891 to 1938, when he had to flee after Austria’s annexation by Nazi Germany.

The history of the Sigmund Freud Museum

With the help of Anna Freud, Sigmund’s youngest daughter, a museum was established in his former living and working quarters in 1971. Initially a memorial space, the Sigmund Freud Museum has since become one of Vienna’s tourist attractions and is visited by over 100,000 people a year.

The exhibition at the Sigmund Freud Museum

Sigmund Freud’s former apartment and doctor’s office displays original furnishings, including the waiting room, as well as a selection from Freud’s private collection of antiques, autographs and first editions of his works. It provides insight into Freud’s biography, his cultural environment, and the genesis of psychoanalysis. Historical film footage from the private life of Freud and his family is also shown.
