Discover 'The City of K. Franz Kafka and Prague': An Immersive Literary Exhibition

This exhibition delves into the world of Franz Kafka, a pivotal figure in 20th-century literature, by exploring his connection to Prague. It showcases rare materials, including first editions, manuscripts, and personal correspondence, interwoven with audio-visual programs and specially created music.

Designed and first opened in Barcelona in 1999, 'The City of K. Franz Kafka and Prague' offers a comprehensive look into the life and creative output of the influential Prague-born writer, Franz Kafka. Presented at the Herget Brickworks in 2005, the exhibition draws from its previous installations, including a showing at the Jewish Museum in New York from 2002 to 2003. The exhibition is divided into two distinct parts: 'Existential Space' and 'Imaginary Topography'. 'Existential Space' meticulously documents the crucial events and environmental influences that shaped Kafka's life and work within Prague. 'Imaginary Topography' then demonstrates how his lived experiences and the physical reality of Prague were transformed into profound metaphorical imagery. Visitors can expect to see first editions of most of Kafka’s works, his correspondence, diaries, manuscripts, original photographs, and drawings that have not been previously exhibited. These are complemented by three-dimensional exhibits, five audio-visual programmes, and original music composed specifically for the exhibition, creating a symphonic whole through the combination of words, images, light, and sound.
