The Sigmund Freud Museum at Berggasse 19, Vienna, immerses visitors in the world of psychoanalysis. It is situated in the apartment where Sigmund Freud lived and worked for nearly 50 years, laying the foundations for modern depth psychology. The museum is more than just a memorial site; it preserves Freud's spirit and serves as a reflection on cultural loss during the Nazi regime. Reopened in 2020 after extensive modernization, the museum now makes all of Freud's private rooms accessible to the public for the first time since its 1971 opening. The exhibition area has nearly doubled, allowing visitors to experience Freud's legacy across approximately 550 m². The foyer includes a ticket desk, museum shop, and café. Freud's former first surgery now houses the museum's contemporary art collection. Visitors can explore the private rooms or the surgery, and the first floor is dedicated to science, featuring the 'Library of Psychoanalysis' with over 40,000 works and the Sigmund Freud Archive. The building's history is also highlighted, noting its use as collective apartments for Jews during the Nazi era.
