Sigmund Freud Museum

A very interesting museum in Vienna! I appreciated this so much esp as a professional working with children. Been reading about Freud for years and it’s amazing to see his actual place and belongings. There are a lot of interactive areas too. Bought a coaster from the shop.

the museum is a piece of history and well worth a visit...especially for those people who thought they knew him and his family. we enjoyed our time. You can walk room by room and you will read the history and see the artifacts of the time. Unfortunately, all the walls have been painted over, so it is just a shade of white and there is no furniture in any spaces.

Very interesting to learn about Freud. But you should be patient to read texts about him and his work rather than seeing exposed materials which are limited. Anyways I think visiting this museum is something to do for general culture. Please don't bring your kids since it might be boaring for them

Wonderfully leisurely perusal of all rooms, all displays. An illuminating visit. Just seeing some of the lukewarm, or negative reviews. Best to ignore. If you’re interested in psychoanalysis, if you’re interested in Freud, if you’re interested in the intellectual and cultural vitality of a bygone Vienna, you will find the museum as we did: fascinating.

Highly recommend a visit. It was wonderful to be in the apartment were Freud did his work. Very spacious and well worth the 20 euros. A nice coffee shop at the ground floor, coffee was great.

It was an intimate museum. Love the part where they play a long video of his daughter introducing some videos shot back in the days. Feels closer to the whole family after watching. Staffs were very nice too.

I have been to the Freud Museum both before and after the refurbishment. Before, it appeared to be small but cozy, and only after the recent refurbishment, more rooms can be opened to the public, thanks to the beautiful work from the architect. I very much disagree with many of the negative comments complaining the place is nearly empty - it is indeed true that not many original belongings are left to show, but this is NOT because the museum does not want to, it is because they are not there anymore. In June 1938, Freud and his family left for London due to the National Socialism situation in Germany/Austria, taking as much as they can. As a consequence, when Freud died later, his London house was turned to a museum too. Having said these, it is in principle perfect if one can visit both, first the one in Vienna then in London, also to experience the progression in history. But this cannot be a reason to give low reviews to the one in Vienna. And if you think about it, Berggasse 19 is the place where Freud wrote all his famous book, saw nearly all his patients, and the place where magic had happened. This place can be more intense, if you value the space, the moment, even though it appeared empty. That said, it is appreciated that not everyone visits here has this level of background knowledge, but the museum has done their job to state that there is the London one for those who are more keen to see these personal/historical items.

Interesting museum, not much to see as it is mostly empty with many showcases of Freud's belongings and handwritings. Price is fair for what it offers so if interested in learning a bit more about Freud and seeing his old place you should visit without very high expectations.
