Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Significant events

• “The Museum has enjoyed a year of dynamic growth and innovation with, amongst other things (and detailed below), a diverse programme of events and conferences, exhibitions featuring acclaimed artists Paula Rego, Louise Bourgeois, Sarah Lucas and Tracy Emin; sold out screenings of the film Freud's Last Session, exciting book events with speakers including Susie Orbach and Professor Mark Solms, a discussion series entitled Provocations with speakers including Juliet Rosenfeld and chaired by Rachel Cooke, mornings with Lord David Freud sharing stories of family life at 20 Maresfield Gardens, and a flourishing bookshop. The Trustees thank the Director and all the staff at the Museum for their continued commitment, support and hard work this past year.”
• “The Museum welcomed 13% of its visitors this year from South America. Through personal letters, photographs, sculptures, books and marginalia, Freud and Latin America investigated the roots of psychoanalysis in the region, namely Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Peru, uncovering fascinating links between Freud's life and Latin America, and provided visibility and recognition for underrepresented narratives within psychoanalysis, particularly from the Global South.”
• “The Museum's exhibition programming was particularly vibrant this year, featuring a series of critically acclaimed shows that attracted diverse and new audiences. The Place I Am Not featured new work created specifically for the exhibition by Cypriot artist Maria Loizidou. The exhibition was presented at both the Freud Museum London and The Hellenic centre, significantly boosting the reach and impact of the project across two prominent London venues. This unique collaboration delved into themes of identity, belonging, and the immigrant experience, inspired by Sigmund Freud's life as an immigrant in London.”
