Berggasse 19

Wien IX, Berggasse 19. This is the address where Sigmund Freud lived and worked for 47 years before he had to flee from the Nazis in 1938. This place is known worldwide as the birthplace of psychoanalysis - it was here that Freud revolutionized the human self-image.

Renovated and expanded in 2020, the Sigmund Freud Museum, founded in 1971, displays all of the family's private rooms as well as Sigmund and Anna Freud's practices. Get information about our permanent exhibitions on the development of psychoanalysis, the Freud family life and the history of the house, conceptual art collection, and special exhibitions.
