Wien IX, Berggasse 19. This is the address where Sigmund Freud lived for 47 years before he had to flee the Nazis in 1938. Since 1971, Sigmund Freud’s apartment and workplace has been home to the Sigmund Freud Museum that attracts more than 100,000 visitors from all over the world every year. In, 2020, the museum was renovated, expanded, and made wheelchair accessible. New exhibitions offer comprehensive information on the life and work of Freud. For the first time ever, all private rooms of the Freud family will be accessible including his “first” practice located on the upper ground floor.

The renovation of the Sigmund Freud Museum has been awarded the Bauherrenpreis, the annual award of Austrian Society of Architects.

Together with the architects Hermann Czech, ARTEC/Bettina Götz and Richard Manahl as well as Walter Angonese we are happy about this recognition. Currently, the nomination for the Mies van der Rohe Prize for Contemporary Architecture by the EU is active.

Olaf Nicolai's installation Trauer und Melancholie (Mourning and Melancholia) is accessible at the Library of Psychoanalysis upon request .

One room of Freud’s former private apartment is dedicated to a rotating program of special exhibitions that address contemporary questions and problems of psychoanalysis and its related fields. The first special exhibition after the renovation is titled Analysis Interminable. Psychoanalytic Schools of Thought after Freud and contains short films and interviews with five practicing psychoanalysts from New York, Dublin, and Berlin who introduce a variety of psychoanalytical schools: contemporary drive and conflict theory, structural psychoanalysis, relational psychoanalysis, object relation theories, as well as self-psychology. The exhibition was curated by psychoanalyst and philosopher Esther Hutfless. - Only until 1.11.2021!
