HOUSE MUSEUM
( www.freud-museum.at ; 09, Berggasse 19; adult/child €8/3.50;
9am-6pm;
Schottentor, Schottenring,
D
Schlickgasse) Sigmund Freud is a bit like the telephone - once he happened, there was no
going back. This is where Freud spent his most prolific years and developed his ground-
breaking theories; moving here with his family in 1891 and staying until he was forced
into exile by the Nazis in 1938. Pivotal to the permanent collection in this museum is the
waiting room, where the Wednesday Psychological Society first met in 1902, the consult-
ing room that once contained Freud's famous couch (now in London) and Freud's study.
An audio guide gives background on exhibits and interview excerpts, including one
where Freud talks about psychoanalytic theory.
