Kafka Museum, Literary museum in Lesser Town, Prague, Czech Republic
The Kafka Museum occupies a former brickworks building along the Vltava River and displays original manuscripts, photographs, and documents from the writer's life. The exhibition is organized into two thematic sections that document his work and relationship with the city.
The collection first opened in Barcelona in 1999, traveled to New York, and found its permanent base in Prague in 2005. This journey across continents established it as an internationally recognized project.
The collection shows how Kafka's life in Prague influenced his writing, with letters and notebooks revealing his connection to the city's streets and daily life. You can trace how people, places, and events around him found their way into his stories.
The museum is easy to visit and opens daily with convenient access by public transportation. The riverside location makes it simple to explore the surrounding area on foot.
The museum uses audiovisual technology to bring Kafka's world to life, combining his words with images, light, and sound. This creative approach creates an immersive experience that goes beyond a traditional text-based display.
