In 2026, Viktor Frankl’s original Vienna apartment and psychiatric practice will open to the public as the Viktor Frankl Apartment & Museum – the very rooms in which he lived, worked, and developed the foundations of Logotherapy after his return from the concentration camps. This presentation offers a rare, close-up window into the spaces that shaped his thinking and shares how the museum’s tours now let his message of hope and meaning reach a new generation in person, in Vienna.
