Freud Museum
Freud Museum Review
The father of psychoanalysis lived here for a year, between his escape from Nazi persecution in his native Vienna in 1938 and his death in 1939. Many of his possessions emigrated with him and were set up by his daughter, Anna (herself a pioneer of child psychoanalysis), as a shrine to her father's life and work. Shortly after Anna's death in 1982 the house was opened as a museum. It replicates Freud's famous consulting rooms, particularly through the presence of the couch. You'll find Freud-related books, lectures, and study groups here, too. Looking for a unique souvenir for the person who has everything? The gift shop here sells 'Freudean Slippers.'
