Sigmund Freud Museum

Vienna

Museums

The Sigmund Freud Museum in Vienna is not just a place, it’s a pilgrimage. Located in Freud’s former apartment and office at Berggasse 19, this is where the founder of psychoanalysis lived and worked for nearly five decades before fleeing Nazi-occupied Austria in 1938. If you’re interested in psychology, history, or just the complex brilliance of the human mind, this museum is a quiet but powerful must-see.
 

Inside Freud’s World

The museum is split into two main parts: Freud’s personal living quarters and his medical practice. While the original furnishings of the famous couch are now in London, many of the original pieces, books, photos, and objects remain. His waiting room, personal library, and family memorabilia give intimate insight into the father of psychoanalysis and the atmosphere that surrounded his groundbreaking work.

Letters, audio recordings, and case notes (some dramatized via multimedia) help you connect the theory with the man. Whether you’ve studied Freud or not, the experience is deeply human and haunting, given the dramatic context of his forced emigration and the rise of fascism.
 

New Additions and Renovations

The museum underwent a major renovation and expansion in 2020, now offering improved accessibility, updated exhibits, and a more immersive visitor flow. You can also explore the spaces of Anna Freud, his daughter and a pioneer in child psychoanalysis, who continued her father's work.

Temporary exhibitions dive deeper into themes like trauma, memory, and the unconscious, often with contemporary artistic interpretations that challenge or extend Freud’s legacy.
