Freud Museum London

Visit London’s most intriguing historic house museum: the final home of Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, who came here in 1938 after fleeing Nazi-occupied Vienna.

Here, among the book-lined walls of Sigmund Freud’s study, you can see the original psychoanalytic couch on which Freud’s patients told him their dreams and memories. The house also contains Freud’s amazing collection of Classical and Oriental antiquities. Over 2,500 items fill cabinets and are arranged on every surface, including the desk where Freud wrote until the early hours of the morning. The Museum is also filled with memories of his daughter, Anna Freud, a pioneer of child psychoanalysis.

House tours and exhibitions are included with admission, including our current exhibition Leonora Carrington: The Symptomatic Surreal, the first institutional exhibition dedicated to Leonora Carrington’s drawings from her Santander sketchbooks, that offer a unique vantage point from which to reconsider the artist’s wartime output.

Engage in some retail therapy in the Gift Shop which offers an exclusive range of accessories, replicas, jewellery, and specialist books.
