One of the highlights of the museum is the recreation of Freud's consulting room, which has been carefully reconstructed to look as it did during his lifetime. Visitors can see the famous couch where Freud's patients would recline during their sessions, as well as other original furnishings and personal objects.

The museum also hosts lectures, workshops, and other events that explore topics related to Freud's work and the broader field of psychology.
