About the VIENNA SHOWCASE:
Sigmund Freud Museum

The reopened Sigmund Freud Museum
Following an extensive renovation and expansion project, the Sigmund Freud Museum reopened its doors in autumn 2020. For the first time, the private rooms of the Freud family home can be accessed including his “first” practice located on the upper ground floor and the family apartment. Furthermore, three newly conceived permanent exhibitions, an art presentation and a special exhibition all conveying Freud’s multi-faceted cultural heritage – they are dedicated to his life and work, the development of psychoanalysis in theory and practice and its significance for society and art – are on display.

The significant value that the physician and neurologist Freud attributed to the arts with regard to the representation of psychological states of mind has often been confirmed by medical and psychological research in recent decades. Similarly, psychological and especially psychoanalytical insights provide suitable starting points for artistic debate in the current day. Thus, the approaches of art and psychoanalysis focus on individual and collective states of existence with the intention of revealing, interpreting and working on their causes and effects.

Panel discussion: Art, Analysis & Public Health
Univ. Prof. Dr. Stephan Doering, Psychoanalyst: “A tendency towards political authoritarianism and the Covid-19 pandemic mutually reinforce each other – a collusion that fosters a paranoid climate of conspiracy theories, prejudice and ostracism. One reason for humanity creating culture has always been to counterbalance these destructive forces.”

Against the background of current social and political developments, representatives of art, culture and psychoanalysis speak about the potential for enlightenment and relief that can be opened up by artistic ways of thinking and procedures.
