Author: 
Sigmund Freud Museum - Vienna
Excerpt: 

The Sigmund Freud Foundation was formed in 2003 in order to provide the Sigmund Freud Museum with a secure financial basis and to expand and develop the institution as a research center. It is an independent scholarly foundation whose goal is to promote new and interdisciplinary studies in the human sciences centering on the works of Sigmund Freud, psychoanalysis and related issues from a contemporary perspective.

Annotation: 

Vienna's Sigmund Freud Museum has created an attractive web site to compliment its bricks and mortar museum. The site includes information about lectures, conferences and exhibitions, the Sigmund Freud Society, funding for Freud-related research, a detailed chronology and a topography or physical geography of Freud. Online versions of the Museum's Newsletter and information about the library can also be found here. Essays about Freud's life, called "themes," include exhibits and articles about Freud's daughter Anna, his emigration from Austria, film and collecting antiquities. Notably the site also provides online video and audio clips of Sigmund Freud.
