Sigmund Freud spent the last year of his life at 20 Maresfield Gardens, an impressive redbrick Hampstead residence. The house was bought by his friends after the penniless psychoanalyst and his family fled from Vienna in 1938. His personal assets had been extorted from him by the authorities following the Anschluss of Austria to the Third Reich. When the family took up residence, Freud's daughter, Anna, organised his new study to resemble his Viennese consulting rooms. Before her own death in 1982, Anna arranged for the house to become a museum in honour of her father. Once again the study was refashioned to Freud's original specifications. This time capsule was opened to the public in July 1986.
