sigmund-freud-museum
The Sigmund Freud Museum is a wonderful museum dedicated to the life and work of the father of psychoanalysis. Housed in an elegant building, the museum features numerous photographs, handwritten notes, and personal items belonging to Freud and his family. The experience of visiting the museum is fascinating, with well-presented information intuitively placed throughout the space. There is even a kids' version that simplifies the function of each room. It typically takes around 2 hours to explore the museum, and the gift shop is well-stocked with interesting items. Visitors praise the helpful and kind staff, as well as the tasty coffee. The displays in the museum are organized and detailed, with explanations available in both English and German. Many find the experience of being in the same rooms where Freud conducted his groundbreaking work to be incredibly cool, and the presence of actual memorabilia belonging to him adds to the authenticity. While some visitors feel that the museum focuses too much on irrelevant facts and lacks in-depth information about psychoanalysis, others appreciate the range of theories presented. Overall, the Sigmund Freud Museum is recommended for anyone interested in the father of psychoanalysis, particularly psychology enthusiasts, although it may not be as engaging for children. While some original pieces may be missing, the museum still offers a valuable insight into Freud's life and legacy.

Really well detailed and interesting museum, with a lot of information to dive into Freud’s life. The prices are acceptable and it takes you around 40 minutes to an hour to see everything. Would recommend even if you are not into psychology, F.. Read more »

If you expect to see the original therapy room and the famous “sofa” you wont see it here! They told me its all in London. Dont expect too much. The artists influenced by Freuds theory also not too much effective. But nice to see if you a.. Read more »

The place is fascinating not only for those passionate about psychology but for anyone willing to witness the place where Freud worked and lived. Furniture is missing in the rooms with the exception of the waiting room. Yet, there are a lot of histor.. Read more »

Good museum to visit if you are interested into the place where psychoanalysis developed. It is great to see the interior spaces. The lack of the original interior is certainly disappointing at first, but this is only owed to the history of Freud&lsq.. Read more »

If you are interested in the field of psychology and work in this field, you should definitely visit this museum if you want to see how the foundations of psychology were laid and how Freud created his course. You can also choose your native language.. Read more »

I found the whole experience fascinating. The museum consists of Freud's home (for nearly 50 years) and his practice. The information was all well presented and intuitively placed around the space. There was even a kids version that summarised t.. Read more »

Good museum focusing on the history and research of Freud and others. The museum had very organized rooms with detailed displays. The displays have explanations in English and German.

A fascinating experience! Went with only basic knowledge about the Father of Psychology and the place, the conservation of it and the movie his daughter made really, really moved me! I really recommend it, one more must-see while in Vienna.

I don’t know if I am biased as a student of sociology and psychology but I found this museum to be incredibly interesting. It was so amazingly cool to be standing in the same room where Freud probably had all the dreams he went on to write abou.. Read more »

If you’re a psychology nerd you will love it. You get to learn about his family too and more in depth about the range of theories he had (not just the most popular ones). For children the museum would be boring, I’d recommend more for adu.. Read more »

It mostly covers irrelevant facts about the house, his relatives etc. Most of the museum is all in text, with just a few interesting objects, so a lot of reading needs to be done, that could be read online or on Wikipedia. We left wanting to learn mo.. Read more »

The museum had very organized rooms with detailed displays. However lots of the original pieces someone would like to see (like the original treatment bed) are missing and can only be seen in photos. The museum store is expensive and the cafe also. S.. Read more »

A must go museum for all Freud's fans. The entrance is 14euros, which could be cheaper, with the chance to have discounts for students (but only up to 27yo) and other categories. The museum is quite big and would require a good 2/3h if stopping .. Read more »

The museum was OK. The atmosphere was kind of sterile as the renovation created rooms with bare white walls. Some attempt was made to place black and white photos in some of the rooms or to paint or paper a small section of the wall with its original.. Read more »

The museum has quotes and writing in English and German from Freud and few others. I liked the experience but I felt they could have done it better, maybe more dynamic and exhaustive information.

Very interesting museum about life of Freud, a glimpse in old times atmosphere. Lot of itens to see and read . No audio guide . I like the environment , the letters , and photos

Not recommended for people who do not speak German, English or who have a vision problem. All the information there is to read. Being in 2022 they could make it more dynamic since it is exclusively reading and for something like that we can search f.. Read more »

I came here in 2003 and recalled a red couch (replica most likely) where Freud did analysis but on 8/18/22 when I visited I didn’t see the couch or any couch. I was hoping to see more actual furniture and belongings of Freud but there wasn&rsqu.. Read more »

Lots of original artefacts of the Prof and Anna Freud, lots, but not too much, information, fairly original atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised. Also, intriguing (partly temporary?) art exhibitions in some of the rooms.

So disappointed with this museum. Such a shame for all the people which are interested in psychology. Exepet one woman, everybody was rude. They speak English very bad. We were talking on German. As for the museum, it is not known where the exhibitio.. Read more »

There is absolutely nothing to be seen there. There is nothing remarkable left from the house related to Freud apart from a few furniture placed in rooms that are not basically preserved. The funny part is that there are pictures instead that show ho.. Read more »

It's a nice museum with a tranquil atmosphere. Visiting involves a lot of reading. It is in Freud's actual apartment and has a lot of his own possessions. It's a nice introduction to Freud's work and should give you some orientati.. Read more »

It has many interesting items but it lacks many others that were shipped to London when Freud fled the Nazis. Hence, the museum cannot give you a complete perspective of Freud's works and life but it does a decent job nevertheless.

Not particularly well-structured or laid out. Lots of items with blocks of text, often written in a way that takes you a minute to understand what it's actually saying. Not much connection from item to item or room to room - I don't feel li.. Read more »

The Sigmund Freud museum on Berggasse is super engaging and stimulating for those with an interest in the man who founded psychoanalysis. The museum covers both Freud himself and the history of the building. Well worth the ticket price!

I didn't feel this museum did itself any favours really. There is a lot to read and not very much to see and whatever you might think of Freud he certainly should generate some debate...interestingly there is an opportunity to sit and have coffe.. Read more »

Very, very nice museum. Expect to spend here at least 1 hour if you're going to read and observe everything carefully. The place has been renewed.

You must be a true believer for it to merit a visit. It could have better storytelling and give more insight for those of us who are not diehard fans.

It is actually Freud's house but besides a couple of furniture in one room, the rest of the rooms are empty and just have very few of his personal belongings in display, along with information about his life and work. One can learn much more abo.. Read more »

Sometimes a museum is just a museum. Our time was up way too quickly, but I saved the museum admission ticket. It's my favorite Freudian slip.

This exhibition is like reading a book, only you have to do it standing and waiting for other people to move on, so you can read the next chapter. Sometimes I did not have the patience to wait for others to finish, so I skipped a few stations. Otherw.. Read more »

It is nice to see, but quite expensive compared to other museums. It doesn't offer such a deep jourey, you only got to see the place where they lived, but without the authentic furniture or wallpapers. Nevertheless, go see but don't expect .. Read more »

Recently renovated museum, now definitely worth seeing. Good overview of Freud's life and work, and even though not much is left of the original flat the museum does a very good job at sparking the imagination.

Found the museum very informative, the original building is being renovated so it was somewhat smaller in the temporary museum which is at no.13 instead of no.19.

Very interesting. Recomendable to people to admire the life of Freud and a lot of his history , his achievements and thoughts . I heard they’re planning a new place or remodeling. I will hope to come back last time was more than a year ago.
