Excellent museum. A class on Freudian psychoanalysis
An absolute highlight of my time in Vienna. I expected the Freud Museum to be interesting, but I didn’t expect it to be so thought-provoking, moving, and beautifully curated. The exhibits place Freud and psychoanalysis within their broader historical, cultural, and political context in a way that makes the experience fascinating even beyond psychology. If you have the chance, I highly recommend the Sunday 2 pm English guided tour. I chose it almost by chance, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip. Our guide, Aaron, was exceptional. He wove together history, philosophy, psychology, religion, politics, and psychoanalysis with remarkable depth, clarity, and enthusiasm. His ability to connect Freud’s ideas to broader human and social questions made the museum come alive. I left with pages of notes, new questions, and the feeling that I could have listened for another two hours. Whether you are a psychologist, psychotherapist, philosopher, historian, student, or simply curious about the human condition, I highly recommend taking the guided tour. It transforms the museum from a collection of artifacts into a living conversation. One of the highlights not only of my time in Vienna, but of my travels. Well worth it.
A very experience for anyone who wants to feel how Freud live and work
Visited with my Daughter who learnt about him in Psychology. This is a chance to see where he lived with his family and worked with his patients but it was a lot more. Loads of info on the holocaust and what his family experienced. But the info on his work was in his apartment and the info on his life and family in his practice rooms - didn’t make sense that way round but still interesting. Only one room set up as it would have been which was slightly disappointing but a few photos jotted around to give you an idea. Liked the home movies they had running. You can easily spend a couple of hours here. €16 per person seemed fair.
Very interesting visit with details about Freud's life and work.
Very complete museum. A great immersion by the apartment and office.
The Freud Museum is very interesting, and to read the most important documents and see the photographs and rooms, you need at least an hour and a half; it's a shame we had less time available.
The entry charge is rather overpriced for what little is there. Some of the old character should have been retained/restored - as it is on the whole, a bland space. But worst of all was the efficious nature of one of the staff - bookshop/guide I believe who rudely told myself and my adult son to keep the noise down when we were sitting in the cafe having cake and coffee after our visit. Not only were we not making much noise but I have a hearing disability. I found this a very upsetting and humiliating experience.
Very interesting and comprehensive museum. You can easily spend a whole day here if you want to read EVERYTHING, but you can also get through it quicker. Staff kicks you out a bit before closing.
Very informative, about both his life/family and about his psychoanalysis theories. Balanced on the latter too. Without realising it we spent almost three hours there!
