Discover the Sigmund Freud Museum in Vienna

Step into Berggasse 19, a landmark address at the heart of Vienna, which for nearly half a century was home to Sigmund Freud, the pioneering neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis. The museum, completely renovated and expanded in 2020, offers visitors the unique chance to walk through Freud's preserved living quarters and discover the world where psychological ideas that transformed history were born.

Tour the Place Where Freud Lived and Worked

Begin your experience in the original family rooms. Wander through spaces where Freud lived alongside his family, and explore his first ever medical practice. Throughout his residence here, Freud developed critical theories that laid the foundation for modern psychology. With your entry ticket, examine a wealth of original personal items: furniture, books, and untouched belongings that once belonged to Freud himself. Archival documents and family photographs provide intimate insights into daily life at the turn of the twentieth century.

Uncover the Anna Freud Rooms

The museum also highlights the work of Anna Freud, Sigmund’s daughter, whose innovations joined psychoanalysis and pedagogy. Access her reconstituted living and consulting rooms, now part of the museum’s immersive storytelling about the Freud family and their impact.

Permanent and Contemporary Art Exhibitions

Follow the historic staircase to the upper ground floor, where the permanent exhibition "Hidden Thoughts of a Visual Nature" awaits. This thoughtful collection displays pieces by notable artists including Franz West, Heimo Zobernig, Susan Hiller and John Baldessari, inviting visitors to reflect on the interplay between art and psychoanalysis.
Elsewhere in the museum, "Analysis Interminable. Psychoanalytic Schools of Thought after Freud" delves into the ongoing influence of Freud’s ideas. This exhibition includes a series of short films and interviews with practicing psychoanalysts from major cities worldwide, offering multidisciplinary perspectives on Freud’s legacy.
