Vienna IX, Berggasse 19. Sigmund Freud lived and worked at this address for 47 years before he had to flee from the National Socialists in 1938. Since 1971, the Sigmund Freud Museum has been located here. It reopened in 2020 after extensive renovation and extension. Three permanent exhibitions in Freud's former living and practice rooms, an art presentation in the "Showroom Berggasse 19," and special exhibitions convey Freud's multi-layered cultural legacy: they are dedicated to his life and work, the development of psychoanalysis in theory and practice, and its significance for the fields of society, science, and art. The history of the house at Berggasse 19 and the eventful fates of its residents are also brought into focus.
Join us for a tour and a talk by 2024–25 US Fulbright scholar Max Cavitch
