Sigmund Freud Museum Vienna

The Sigmund Freud Museum Vienna is located at Berggasse 19, the former home and workplace of Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis. This historic apartment offers visitors an intimate look into Freud’s personal life and professional legacy, featuring preserved rooms, original documents, photographs, and exhibitions that explore the development of psychoanalytic thought.
This venue is also included in select MegaPass options, making it easy to combine with other top attractions in Vienna.

Sigmund Freud lived and worked at Berggasse 19 from 1891 until 1938, where he developed many of his groundbreaking theories. After Freud was forced to flee Vienna due to the Nazi regime, the apartment was later transformed into a museum. Today, it serves as both a historical site and a center for research, dialogue, and contemporary exhibitions.

The museum offers a unique opportunity to explore the origins of psychoanalysis in the very place where Freud developed his ideas. Visitors can gain insight into his theories, personal life, and lasting influence on psychology, philosophy, and modern culture.

Tickets typically include access to the museum’s permanent exhibitions, historical rooms, and temporary displays. Some entry options may include audio guides or access to special exhibitions and cultural programs.
