Maybe, just maybe if you are a psychology student this will be interesting to you. Otherwise it's too expensive for what you get (8€) and dull and the audioguide is not didactic at all. I would recommend to spend uour money and time in something else.

Interesting mainly if you are sensitive to the "spirit of place", to stand where Freud lived and worked for 40 years. Otherwise, it is hard to see how ANY museum can really do justice to the man and his work. The audioguide is rather irritating in its condescending style, but it DOES contain one gem (item 59), the only known... More

Just not worth the effort. Very little to see other than the few things donated by Anna Freud. There's the thrill of standing where the great man worked. Lots of photos in the study that are insightful if you read the dog eared notebook they hand out when they have run out of audio guides. But you can get much... More

We visited the Freud museum as I had studied psychology at school and found his work really interesting. Firstly, the price of the museum was top notch! Only €5.50 which included an audio guide, which provided a lot of interesting information. There were some displays in every room but the audio guide definitely helped. It wasn't the biggest museum or... More

An awfull old and inopportune presentation!!! The presenation seem to be stucked in the 1960s. The system of the audioguide and the printed guides is so confusing and you get lost all the time even if the museum is so small.

This is definitely an "in spot" to visit for those involved in behavioral science. The history as reflected in the pictures and apartment/office mileau bring you back in time (if you already know anything about Freud). I purchased a poster of Freud's couch for a psychiatrist co-worker of mine (the original is not on site so the picture is a... More

The Freud museum is out of the path of the big museum area of Vienna. The museum is authentic and includes items from Freud's original artifacts, his history and works. The audiogiise helps a lot to understand for someone ignorant as me who didn't know all the details of his life. The museum is not long to visit but requires... More

As a former psychology major in college it was a thrill to visit Freud's office, see his desk, chair, hat, briefcase, waiting room as well as see lots of pictures and his original books that he wrote. It was a little hard to get to but we asked people on the street and they helped us find it.

Visiting this ordinary flat ( though upmarket in its time) with it ordinary rooms and mundane views gives you as a visitor a chance to reflect on to contrast to the extraordinary things that went on here. Seeing the waiting room furnished was ineresting ( as a GP I can tell you waiting rooms tell you an awful lot!). Not... More

I was lucky that I love all minor details like door handles, window frames and so on. For me it was an opportunity to visit just a typical appartment of previous century in Vienna. I have barely learnt something about Freud that I coudn't have from my couch with laptop.
