Vienna - Freud Museum
|
|
Sigmund Freud lived in the house at 19 Berggasse for almost half a century, from 1891 to 1938. It was here that he wrote his theories including "Dreams and their Meaning" (1900) and received the official announcement in 1902 that the Emperor had awarded him an honorary Professorship.
Of the 15 rooms in the house, only Freud's "working" rooms are open to the public: the vestibule, waiting room, treatment room and study have been turned into a museum by the Sigmund Freud Society in 1971 and contain some original furnishings, documents and photographs.

The Psychological Wednesday Society which became the Vienna Psychoanalytical Association met here until 1908. Among the displays in the museum are items from Freud's collection of antiquities which his daughter Anna Freud donated to the Society; the majority of the pieces used to be kept in the study. A film narrated by Anna Freud tells the story of the life of the Freud family.
