The 2017-2018 season at the Virtual Psychoanalytic Museum has opened.
Welcome to the beginning of our third season!
We invite you to enter the Virtual Psychoanalytic Museum for a new experience of psychoanalytic understanding.
Our first new exhibit for this season is Winnie’s Gallery: Psychoanalysis and Dogs. Winnie is our first canine curator who, with the help of Arlene and Arnie Richards, has assembled several vignettes and chapters on the subject.
We are also keeping exhibits from last season available in the Main Entry Hall for now. As new exhibits become ready for launch we will move older exhibits to the Past Galleries and Exhibits area where they will remain accessible along with those from our first season.
