I am a therapist, and although I am not completely sold on psychoanalytic theory, there was never a doubt that I would make a special trip to Freud's home/office while visiting Vienna in mid-July 2009. I'll dispense with the "dislikes" first... I had trouble finding the place (using public transportation), even with a good map and what I thought were... more

I would not waste time visiting this museum. It is very small with little to look at. We arrived just as a guided tour was going thru so we could not move thru the museum without difficulty. The only plus was that we could eavesdrop on the guides commentary. more

Freud is really there if you have your eyes wide open and know a few things about him. It is true that is not full of his things but you can see a part of his books, the sofa where pacients were treated...also there is a room where a little movie is played, commented by his daughter. I liked a... more

Wow ... probably our biggest disappointment in Vienna. Made a special trip out of our way to see this place, only to find it dusty, disorganized (very poor guide materials, at least for English readers; tab numbers on most pictures were faded almost beyond recognition), and not at all worth the admission price. Very poor tribute to a giant in... more

Not really worth going because there's nothing much to see but photos. Freud's library and collection of antiquities are in London. However, if you want to have a feel of how a father of psychoanalysis had lived, how an old Viennese apartment looks like, and if you have spare time in Vienna, visit Freud Haus in Vienna. more

The Sigmund Freud Museum is very interesting! I spent only 2 and a half days in Vienna, yet included this museum into my busy schedual! The museum is housed in the Freud family's Vienna apartment and Sigmund's office in an interesting building on a hilly street! For those interested in psychology, this place is a must! You simply follow a... more

The museum is in the spacious apartment where Freud lived and worked. Although only his study is furnished as it would have looked when he lived there, there is an interesting collection of photos, letters, and other memorabilia relating to Freud's life and medical practice. Most of the rooms are bare, but we enjoyed seeing what an old Viennese apartment... more

www.freud-museum.at was disappointed, and if you are going to see only one Freud museum in your life, the one in London (Hampstead) is the one to go to. When Freud left Vienna in 1938, he took his books, furnishings, art work, even the famous couch with him, and it?s in the Hampstead house. What is in the Vienna apartment are... more

gleich vorweg: Das Freud Museum ist kein "klassisches" Geburts/Wohnhausmuseum wie etwa das Goethe Haus in Weimar. Das liegt daran, dass... more

Die original belassene Wohnung und Praxis haben einen ganz besonderen Flair. Die wissenschaftliche Leitung leistet gute Arbeit. Tolle Veranstaltungen mit... more
