Lonely Planet review

The apartment where Sigmund Freud lived and worked from 1891 until his forced departure from Vienna with the arrival of the Nazis in 1938 is now a museum devoted to the father of psychoanalysis. A number of his possessions are on display, and his obsessions - travelling, smoking and antique collecting - are well represented by Egyptian and Buddhist statues. Only a handful of his many portraits capture him without his trademark half-smoked cigar.

Overly detailed notes (in English) illuminate the offerings and audio guides are available at the ticket desk, but neither offers any real insight into Freud's theories. The newly opened second floor is used for temporary exhibitions.
