Vienna - Dr. Freud

One of Vienna's most famous residents who fled the Nazi's to London was Sigmund Freud. As a Jew, and seeing the turning tide in Europe, he took his family and moved to London when it was clear that things did not look good.





However, the building in which he lived and had his office still stands. It is now a museum dedicated to him.







There is not that much inside the museum, however the furniture that was in his waiting room has been returned to decorate that room much as it was at the time he lived and had his practice here.

The flat was basically split into two halves. One half was the residence, and the other half was his office. Both had separate entrances. Unfortunately, Freud's famous couch is not at this museum, but is housed in London at the British Museum.

It was interesting seeing this space where Freud developed his famous theories on Psychotherapy, that have so changed and shaped the modern world.
