SOUNDBITE (English) Miriam Leonard, Freud & Egypt exhibition curator: “It's the 80th anniversary of Freud's death this year but it's also the 80th anniversary of the last major work that he wrote which is called 'Moses and Monotheism'.

SOUNDBITE (English) Miriam Leonard, Freud & Egypt exhibition curator: “On the one hand we can sort of see what role Egypt played in Freud's writings, he wrote a great many books. But on the other hand, if you come to this museum, you immediately see that Freud surrounded himself with antiquities. He was an absolutely compulsive collector of ancient objects and there are about 2,500 antiquities in Freud's personal collection and 600 of them come from Egypt. So it's the single culture which is most represented in his antiquities collection.“ 15. Mid of Egyptian figures on display in study 16. Mid of Sphinx picture on wall 17. SOUNDBITE (English) Miriam Leonard, Freud & Egypt exhibition curator: “There is a large number of objects to do with death. So there are beautiful mummy masks, a barge carrying the mummies across the Nile and hundreds of heart scarabs, which were representatives of the kind of relationship between life and the afterlife. And it's quite interesting Freud started collecting his antiquities just after his father died and he connected it to that. So I think Freud's interest in Egypt was partly motivated by his fascination with questions of death and the relationship between the dead and the living and how that related to questions about the conscious and the unconscious.“ 18.
