The
tour
is
very
worthwhile.
It
was
the
last
house
where
Sigmund
Freud
lived
with
his
family
and
dog.
His
daughter
Anna
Freud,
a
psychoanalyst
for
children,
lived
there
until
the
end
of
her
days
and
it
was
her
wish
that
the
house
become
a
kind
of
museum.
Dr
Sigmund
Freud's
office
sets
the
tone
for
the
character,
a
lover
of
the
arts
of
the
Ancient
World,
especially
Egypt
and
Greece,
and
a
great
collector
of
small
objects.
The
divan
is
also
there,
travelling
directly
from
Vienna
to
London.
It's
exciting
to
know
that
so
many
figures
from
Freud's
work
have
sat
down,
opened
up,
cried
and
taken
comfort
there.
The
tour
isn't
just
for
psychoanalysts,
but
a
little
prior
knowledge
or
a
desire
to
get
to
know
them
makes
it
a
better
experience.
There
are
lots
of
photos
of
the
family,
friends
(Lou
Salomé
and
Marie
Bonaparte),
Freud's
personal
belongings
(glasses,
pen,
umbrella,
above
all,
the
"monster"
he
wore
in
his
mouth,
the
ashtray
and
many
other
things.
At
the
end,
there
is
a
room
with
a
replica
of
the
divam
where
you
can
lie
down
and
take
photos
(free
of
charge)
and
a
shop
where
you
can
buy
postcards,
magnets,
T-shirts,
mugs,
books
and
many
other
things.
One
of
the
staff
speaks
Brazilian
Portuguese
and
another
European
Portuguese.
