Create an itinerary including Franz Kafka Muzeum
Dedicated to the life and work of one of the city's most celebrated authors, Franz Kafka Muzeum contains a large collection of Kafka's private letters and photographs. Although Kafka wrote in German, the city of Prague remained the heart of his personal and professional world. The museum explores the relationship between the city and the writer, providing a glimpse into Kafka's universe of literary characters tortured by personal alienation, physical brutality, and cold-hearted bureaucracy. Take a look at the displays featuring first editions of Kafka's major works, as well as his personal diaries, drawings, and manuscripts. Pick up Kafka's complete works at the on-site shop. Put Franz Kafka Muzeum into our Prague day trip planning tool to see other points of interest to visit during your vacation in Prague.

  • One of the most dull exhibits I saw in my life. It is borderline fraud to call this a museum! Boring as hell Also, the temperature inside was feeling as though we stepped into hell…

  • Note: for bookworms and those who read more than "The trial" or "Metamorphosis" if you want to truly understand everything and achieve full experience. If not, you won't be satisfied with "papers, books and lots of notes written on the walls" Anyway, For CZK 260 you get a beautiful, artistically styled museum with lots of visual and sound effects. They even created a gloomy atmosphere to represent Kafka as close as possible. A perfect opportunity to dive into Kafka's mind. There are several of his personal belongings, lots of documents and his handwriting. Even some sketches when he was in his artistic era! And of course, lots of mind-intriguing quotes from his books.
  • Worthwhile to visit if you are a Kafka enthusiast but perhaps boring and expensive for someone who doesn't know much about Kafka. The museum includes Kafka's hand writings, earlier editions of his books, and a lot of photos and information about his life. This information also helps you locate other interesting destinations in your Prague trip, e.g. different houses where Kafka lived in, or his favourite bars, etc. It takes about one hour or more to visit the museum.
