Freud Museum

The Freud Museum, London is actually in the house that famous pyschologist Sigmund Freud spend his last years in. He was a great collector of antiques from ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt and the Orient.

I was surprised to see a portrait of Freud by Salvador Dali who had likened Freud's cranium to the shell of a snail!

The museum was small but interesting, there was footage of him and his family and a lot of information about his sister, Anna Freud who was also a psychoanalyst, particularly interested in child psychology.

A lamp from his dining room that I rather liked.

One of the houses just down the road from the museum had a fantastic little diamond shaped window that had to be photographed.
