Franz Kafka Museum, Biographical museum at Malá Strana, Czech Republic
The Franz Kafka Museum is located in a former brickworks building along the Vltava River and displays manuscripts, photographs, and personal documents of the writer. The collection spans two floors with exhibition texts in multiple languages.
The exhibition was founded in Barcelona in 1999, traveled to New York in 2002, and established its permanent location in Prague in 2005. The move to Prague made the collection accessible in the writer's literary home.
The museum reveals how Prague shaped Kafka's thinking through two sections exploring his lived experiences and literary imagination. Visitors can see how the city influenced his writing.
The museum welcomes visitors daily and offers guided tours along with exhibition texts in several languages. The location on the river is easily accessible on foot and has nearby parking and bus stops.
Outside the museum stands a bronze fountain sculpture showing two men pouring water onto a surface shaped like the Czech Republic. This quirky artwork often catches the attention of passersby.
Opening Hours: Monday-Sunday 10:00-18:00
