Dive into the enigmatic world of Franz Kafka, one of the most influential literary figures of the 20th century, at the Kafka Museum in Prague. Tucked away in the historic Hergetova Cihelna on the Lesser Town bank of the Vltava River, the museum offers a deeply immersive journey into Kafka’s life and imagination.
The exhibition is thoughtfully curated as a journey through the core themes of Kafka’s work, existential anxiety, alienation, and absurdity, guiding visitors through a symbolic exploration of his inner world.
Your visit begins with a rare collection of historical treasures: first editions, personal letters, diaries, and original manuscripts. Photographs and sketches provide a glimpse into Kafka’s personal life and the cultural backdrop of early 20th-century Prague. The experience is brought to life through three-dimensional installations and audiovisual displays, creating a multisensory narrative that mirrors Kafka’s surreal and introspective storytelling.
As you move through the museum, you’ll encounter never-before-seen works, accompanied by an original musical score composed exclusively for the exhibition. The journey culminates in a deeper appreciation of Kafka’s enduring impact on modern literature and his lifelong struggle with identity, society, and self.
