Reviews for Freud Museum London
Shana Lewis
I came here on the first day of my vacation in London and I am so glad I did. The exhibition on Lucian Freud was excellent. It really did justice to both the history of the family and the interdisciplinary nature of artistic practice. I was also lucky enough to catch the afternoon tour/talk on Thursday afternoon, which was entertaining and informative. The staff was very kind and the shop has a fantastic selection of book available. It’s definitely worth a visit.

I’m a psychology student. I had a great time visiting here. I learned some little things about Freud that I didn’t know before. The staff are very kind. The souvenirs are also lovely! If you are interested in Floyd must come.

Really interesting place, the last home of the great man who escaped from the Nazis leaving his home in Vienna to spend the last year of his life here. But he was also able to take most of his possessions with him. The highlight is definitely his study where many of these treasured possessions remain including the couch where his patients lay, his desk and his collections of ancient archeological objects recovered from excavations from places like Egypt. He actually made an anology between delving into the minds of his patients and excavations to reveal archeological past.
Do watch the couple of videos upstairs in the seated theatre which have original black & white film covering the period 1930 to 1939 and his move from Vienna to this house.
Very interesting museum.
After Sigmund Freuds death from Cancer in 1939, Anna Freud, his daughter and pioneering child psychoanalyst, continued to live and work her till her own death in 1982

Glad I came!!! You can get to know Freud and his family more by exploring his house. The Museum also gives you lots of knowledge about psychoanalysis which is foundered by Freud.

Visiting Freud’s house was an incredible experience. The house is well maintained, with a beautiful and well kept garden. You can see a lot of Freud’s significant belongings, especially the world famous couch!!! The experience made me truly emotional, as it was a chance to get closer to the figure of Freud both as a professional and as a human being and family man. The visit also enables to familiarise with the figure of Anna Freud, who was a pioneer in Child Psychology. Great experience all round!!!

Love! Love! Love! I have been to so many museums. Before I went there, I was more interested in Freud’s life. I never realised a small museum could touched me so much. It is very personal and very immersive. I even had the déjà vu when I was standing in his therapy room. I could go back there anytime and just stand in the house, anywhere in the house, and feel his presence. I don’t feel words can express my feelings.

One of the most emotional places ever visited. Well organized too, with many explanation and all the Wien’s house furniture still intact. A full immersion in Freud’s life and work even if it was just a few years residence
