Information:
Celebrating the life and work of Sigmund Freud, who 'invented' psychoanalysis, and his daughter, Anna - a pioneer in child psycho-therapy - the Freud Museum is housed in 20 Maresfield Gardens, Hampstead, London, home of the Freud family from 1938. Freud moved to the house from his native Austria to escape the Nazis. His daughter, Anna, lived there until her death in 1982, when it was bequeathed to the London Museums of Health & Medicine. The house today has been preserved much as it was in Freud's lifetime, particularly his study, which is resplendent with his large collection of Egyptian, Roman, Greek and Oriental antiquities. Pride of place is taken by Freud's psychoanalytic couch and his vast reference library. The Freud Museum is open from noon to 5pm, Wednesdays to Sundays. It can be reached from Finchley Road Underground station - the Jubilee and Metropolitan lines - or by buses 13, 82 and 113.
