Help preserve Freud's couch
Freud’s psychoanalytic couch has come to represent the practice of psychoanalysis itself and is undoubtedly one of the most famous pieces of domestic furniture in the world.
It is at the heart of the collections in the care of the Freud Museum London – Freud’s final home.
Thank you for helping to preserve Freud’s legacy.
