You'll have to settle for a virtual tour. The building containing Wundt's
lab was demolished years ago (even though the war damage was minimal) and
replaced by one of the monstrous East German tributes to progress. I stopped
briefly in Leipzig in the summer of 2000 anyway. I couldn't find a single
item in the university bookstore that celebrated their past. They will have
their 600th anniversary in a few years.
Not sure about each of the others. Both Freud museums are quite nice
although the Vienna apartments are a little stark since all of the
furnishings are in London. Bedlam is there, but I couldn't find Bicetre.
There is a nice statue of Pinel in front of La Salpetriere.
It's a very long way to the Pavlov Institute. I didn't look for the others -
needed to save something for the next trip.
