This is a new and appropriately unnerving museum dedicated to one of Prague's most famous sons. The Franz Kafka Museum in Malá Strana expounds one of the greatest writers of the 20th century and his deep connection with Prague.
Having been seen in Barcelona and New York, the city of Franz Kafka's birth - Prague - campaigned to ensure that this exhibition of his life and work was brought to the Czech capital. Housed in the Hergetova Cihelna building overlooking the Vltava, the exhibition is split, like the city, in two. In Existential Space, Prague's influence on Kafka (1883-1924) is put under the spotlight, while Imaginary Topography seeks to uncover the fictitious city landscape Kafka created from Prague in his surreal novels such as The Trial.
