🤓 Fun Facts
Freud’s couch made the journey from Vienna to London in 1938 during his escape from the Nazis—rug and all.
The study holds around two thousand antiquities—Egyptian, Greek, Roman—arranged by Freud himself as a ‘working imagination’ of myths and mind.
Anna Freud lived in the house until 1982; the museum opened soon after, keeping the rooms largely as the family left them.
