Showcase: Freud Museum in London
It's 160 years since the birth of Sigmund Freud, and the Freud Museum in London has commissioned work by one of the UK's best-known artists to commemorate the anniversary. Vanessa Cuddeford went along to take a look.
Freud Museum in London
This is the study of Sigmund Freud's house in London, where he lived his last year of life, when he had to go into exile.
Look Inside The Freud Museum London
I visited The Freud Museum London on January 26, 2018. It is located in 20 Maresfield Gardens, Hampstead, London. It was a great opportunity and experienced for me as a psychologist to be able to feel connected with the masters of psychology.
***
It was the home of Sigmund Freud and his family when they escaped Austria in 1938. It remained the family home until Anna Freud, died in 1982. The centrepiece of the museum is Freud's study, preserved just as it was during his lifetime.
It contains Freud's remarkable collection of antiquities. There are rows of ancient figures on the desk where Freud wrote until the early hours of the morning. The walls are lined with shelves containing Freud's large library.
The house is also filled with memories of his daughter, Anna, who lived there for 44 years and continued to develop her pioneering psychoanalytic work, especially with children. It was her wish that the house become a museum to honour her illustrious father. The Freuds were fortunate to be able to bring all their furniture and household effects to London. These included splendid Biedermeier chests, tables and cupboards, and a fine collection of 18th and 19th century Austrian painted country furniture.

The Uncanny: A Centenary - exhibition trailer
This year marks 100 years since Sigmund Freud wrote his paper on The Uncanny. A theory that went on to inspire art, film, literature and further psychoanalytic enquiry.
The uncanny is a feeling that is difficult to describe. It is related to dread, horror, repulsion, and distress. But what turns something frightening into something uncanny?
The Freud Museum’s exhibition celebrates Freud’s essay and explores its legacy. Elizabeth Dearnley, Karolina Urbaniak, Martin Bladh, Lili Spain and Martha Todd have made new artworks exploring the uncanny which may make you feel a little unsettled.
As well as finding out about historical and contemporary contexts, experience the immersive room inspired by E. T. A. Hoffmann’s story of The Sandman. Try out our downloadable app to hear an uncanny perspective on Freud’s collection of antiquities. Allow this exhibition to take you on a haunting journey through Freud’s former home.

Sigmund Freud tomb, Golders Green Crematorium, London, England, United Kingdom, Europe
Golders Green Crematorium and Mausoleum was the first crematorium to be opened in London, and one of the oldest crematoria in Britain. The land for the crematorium was purchased in 1900, costing £6,000, and the crematorium was opened in 1902 by Sir Henry Thompson. The crematorium, the Philipson Family mausoleum, designed by Edwin Lutyens, the wall, along with memorials and gates, the Martin Smith Mausoleum, and Into The Silent Land statue are all Grade II listed buildings. The gardens are included in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. Golders Green Crematorium, as it is usually called, is in Hoop Lane, off Finchley Road, Golders Green, London NW11, ten minutes' walk from Golders Green tube station. It is directly opposite the Golders Green Jewish Cemetery (Golders Green is an area with a large Jewish population). The crematorium is secular, accepts all faiths and non-believers; clients may arrange their own type of service or remembrance event and choose whatever music they wish. Cremation was not legal in Great Britain until 1885. The first crematorium was built in Woking and it was successful. At that time cremation was championed by the Cremation Society of Great Britain. This society was governed by a council, at that time led by Sir Henry Thompson (president and founding member). There is a bust to his memory in the West Chapel of Golders Green Crematorium. Out of this Society was formed the London Cremation Company (which has its offices on the premises), who desired to build a crematorium within easy reach of London. The crematorium in Golders Green was designed by the architect Sir Ernest George and his partner Alfred Yeates. The gardens were laid out by William Robinson. The crematorium is a red brick building in Lombardic style and was built in stages, as money became available. The current crematorium was finished around 1939, although since then some buildings have been added. The crematorium opened in 1902. Since November 1902 more than 323,500 cremations have taken place at Golders Green Crematorium, far more than any other British crematorium. It is estimated that the crematorium now averages around 2,000 cremations a year. The funerals of many prominent people have taken place there over the last century. The chimney of the crematorium is located within the tower and the building is in an Italianate style. The 12 acres of gardens are extensively planted, and produce a beautiful and tranquil environment for visitors. There are several large tombs, two ponds and bridge, and a large crocus lawn. Another notable feature is a special children's section, which includes a swinging bench. There is also a 'communist corner' with notables of the Communist Party of Great Britain. There are two cremation chapels and a chapel of remembrance. There are also three columbaria containing the ashes of thousands of Londoners and residents of neighbouring counties. There have been 14 holders of the Victoria Cross cremated here, and there are locations and memorials for many other military personnel of all ranks, and from many countries. Largest among them is the Commonwealth War Graves Commission memorial, listing 486 British and Commonwealth military casualties of both World Wars who were cremated here. Designed by Sir Edward Maufe, it was unveiled in 1952. Built in Portland Stone with names listed on three bronze panels, it stands at head of an ornamental pond at the western end of the memorial cloister. At Christmas, a Christmas tree is erected in the field in front of the main buildings. Although the crematorium is secular, a nativity scene is also placed near the chapel of remembrance. A map of the Gardens of Remembrance and some information on persons cremated here is available from the office. The staff are very helpful in finding a specific location. The columbaria are now locked, although they can still be visited (accompanied). There is also a tea room.
