Since 1971, the Sigmund Freud Museum has been welcoming visitors at Berggasse 19 in Vienna’s ninth district. Here is where Sigmund Freud lived and worked for 47 years until he was driven into exile in 1938. In the meantime, Berggasse 19 has become one of the world’s most famous addresses: it is where the founder of psychoanalysis produced almost all of his writings. Pioneering works such as “The Interpretation of Dreams” and ”Civilization and Its Discontents” were written in the study. Today these rooms in the typical late-nineteenth century house are open to the public, and they attract more than 100,000 visitors per year from more than 100 countries. In Sigmund Freud’s former office and apartment, the Sigmund Freud Museum presents an exhibition documenting the life and work of the founder of psychoanalysis. Unique film material depicting the Freud family in the thirties can be seen in a video room, while original objects from Freud’s belongings, including his office’s waiting room and parts of his extensive collection of antiquities, make tangible the surroundings in which his patients were analyzed and a new science was born. Special exhibitions illustrate the origins of psychoanalysis - its historical, cultural and epistemological context - and the history of its reception. A collection of international conceptual art demonstrates the influence of psychoanalysis on artistic creation and everyday live in the modern era. Daily 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Guided tours by appointment
