The Franz Kafka Museum in Prague gives visitors an insight into the inner world of Franz Kafka, one of the most important writers of the 20th century. The exhibition portrays Kafka’s life and work, his fascination with Prague and how its atmosphere is reflected in his novels.
Facsimiles of manuscripts, documents, first editions of Kafka’s novels, photographs, drawings and memorabilia displayed in a dark and gloomy “Kafkaesque” setting that is evocative of scenes from the writer’s novels – all this draws visitors into the world of 20th century literary great Franz Kafka.
The museum, which opened in 2005, is located in the unique space of the Herget Brickworks in the Lesser Town on the bank of the Vltava River. Although one might expect a direct link to Kafka’s Prague, there is none, as museum guide Zlatina Novák Jeřábková explains.
