Exhibition: A Century of The Ego and the Id

Celebrate the centenary of the publication of Freud’s famous work The Ego and the Id with an interactive mini-exhibition exploring visual metaphors behind the id, ego and superego – concepts that have become household names.

It will be an opportunity to delve a little deeper into the Freudian universe while reclining on a perfect replica of Freud’s famous psychoanalytic couch – coming to us straight from the set of a new film Freud’s Last Session (2023) starring Sir Anthony Hopkins, Liv Lisa Fries and Matthew Goode.

Through rarely seen objects and photographs from the family archive, we will also offer a glimpse into Berggasse 19 in Vienna – Freud’s home for 47 years before he and his family fled Nazi-Occupied Austria to come to London.

We are grateful to The Circles of Art and to Lord David Freud for their kind support in making this mini-exhibition possible.
