⭐ Highlights

Freud’s Study & Couch

The room where the method became a place

A Persian rug, low light, and shelves of gods and monsters—therapy staged as a voyage inward.

Stand by the desk and scan the statuettes: which myth would you want on your shoulder?

📍 Ground floor, rear study

Library Walls

Freud read like a scientist-poet

Goethe to archaeology journals—ideas cross-pollinate on every shelf.

Pick one spine at random and read the nearest index entry; follow that thread through the labels.

📍 Ground floor, study and hall

Anna Freud

Child analysis and a life of care

Photos, papers and objects sketch a second act that shaped how we think about childhood.

Match one case study note to a contemporary classroom dilemma—what would you change?

📍 First floor rooms

Temporary Exhibitions

Psychoanalysis meets contemporary art

Artists and analysts in dialogue—dreams, symbols and satire in modern materials.

Read the first panel only, then circle once before deciding if you agree.

Inside the museum

Sigmund Freud’s final home in Hampstead is preserved around his study and world-famous couch, brought from Vienna in 1938. Books crowd the walls; antiquities sit like a private pantheon, showing how myth and archaeology fed his thinking. Upstairs rooms trace flight from Nazism and the afterlife of psychoanalysis through Anna Freud. Small but potent—allow 60–75 minutes, and expect a hush more like a library than a museum.
