Sigmund Freud Museum

The Most Famous Address in all of Vienna

Come visit the Sigmund Freud Museum, celebrating the life of the founding father of psychoanalysis who lived there until he was forced to emigrate in 1938 after Austria was annexed by Nazi Germany.

Arguably Berggasse 19 is Vienna's most famous address. This is where Sigmund Freud lived for 47 years, from 1891 to 1938! He lived there until he was forced to flee to live out his days in England with his family on June 4th. This was in order to escape the Nazi invasion. The museum in Freud's former living quarters and office was opened in 1971 with the help of Anna Freud, his youngest daughter.

The apartment and office of Freud are now furnished as a museum. The Museum displays original furniture, including his waiting room and a selection from his private collection of antiques, autographs, and first editions of his works. It provides insights into Freud's life and times, his cultural surroundings, and the origin of psychoanalysis. You will also get to view historic films from Freud and his family's lives, all of which has been compiled by Anna Freud.

Since opening, the museum has been gradually expanding. It now includes a library, a shop, storage rooms for the library, and an exhibition room. The museum also acquired the storefront next to the entrance. There was a kosher butcher shop there until 1938, and since 2002 the spot has provided the museum with an outdoor area. The storefront's large windows are a fantastic display area for installations by artists from Austria and elsewhere.
