Don't forget the Freud Museums - one in London (his home, where he was living after he fled the Nazis) and his home in Vienna. I've been to both and have to say that the one in London is more interesting and better done.

Are there particular sites that have museums or visual displays associated with them that could make a useful adjunct to some associated readings? The Archives of the History of American Psychology in Akron, OH. They have the Milgram "shock machine", a door from the Zimbardo "prison," one of Skinner's "heir conditioners" (air cribs), and a working automatic phrenology reader called the "psychograph" (among many, many, other things). There is a good psychology display in the Ontario Science Center here in Toronto... more demonstrations than history, however (though they do have James Mark Baldwin's old Hipp Chronscope on display). Or, what if the trip were to involve travel to Europe for a few weeks in the summer? What locations would you suggest for a European travel-based History of Psychology class? The Science Museum in London is worth going to anytime. It does not have much history of psych, though there is a small psychology display in the medical section. There are other great museums of science nearby in Oxford and Cambridge as well. Again, however, psychology is not well represented at them. There is a small museum of Wundt's lab in Leipzig (the original lab was destroyed in WWII though). There used to be a fantastic (from what I hear) museum of psychological equipment in Passau (SE Germany), but I am not sure whether it is still in operation. Chris -- Christopher D.
