| Extra Info | : | In the 1970s and ‘80s, when the Freud Museum archive was being established, conservative social attitudes about lesbian relationships meant that Anna Freud and Dorothy Burlingham’s close relationship and cohabitation were sensitive topics that potentially threatened Sigmund Freud’s legacy. This special tour of the Museum will focus on the two women’s ‘herstory’ in the house, the history of psychoanalytic attitudes towards ‘female homosexuality’, and how Freud, Burlingham and Eissler curated the archive of their letters. There will be the opportunity to view selected items from the archive. Tickets include a glass of wine on arrival and the opportunity to view the Women & Freud exhibition out of hours. |
