I went to visit the Freud museum today as I have the pleasure of staying just around the corner from it. Of course, I was denied photographs, but managed to snap a few before I was asked by the attendant to kindly stop.
I never really understood why photography wasn’t allowed in museums. I bet they fear I’m going to go reproduce Freud’s mansion in the USA. In any case, it was lovely to experience his residence and gaze upon belongings he held so dear.
“All the time that there was a question there was a decision.”
“…all room has no shadow.”
“All along the tendency to deplore the absence of more has not been authorized.”
