Freud Museum

The Freud Museum in Hampstead was the home of Sigmund Freud and his family when they fled Nazi annexation of Austria in March 1938. It remained the family home until Anna Freud, the youngest of his six children, died in 1982. The centrepiece of the museum is Freud's library and study, preserved just as it was during his lifetime and containing the most famous piece of furniture in the collection, Freud's psychoanalytic couch on which all of his patients reclined.

The museum also contains Freud's remarkable collection of antiquities: Egyptian; Greek; Roman and Oriental. Almost two thousand items fill cabinets and are ranged on every surface. There are rows of ancient figures on the desk where Freud wrote until the early hours of the morning and the walls are lined with shelves containing Freud's extensive library of reference books.

Also on display are splendid Biedermeier chests, tables and cupboards and a fine collection of 18th and 19th century Austrian painted country furniture.
