Nataša PejićMay 9, 2017Loved the expirience with the whole "Let the sound guide you" thing. Must see for Kafka lovers. But I noticed the prices in the shop are higher for some things than at the other places I saw them.

Mert GençAugust 31, 2016You need to buy a entry ticket from Kafka museum shop which is in front of the museum entrance. You can find Kafka's letter and his biography in the museum. Approximately 30-45 minutes will be enough.

Veysel SoyluJune 29, 2022It is awesome to be here. Franz Kafka’s Masterpiece work “Metamorphosis” starts with these words: “Gregor Samsa, who wakes one morning to find himself inexplicably transformed into a huge insect.”

Lidiia IulinaAugust 20, 2016Really good modern museum with some interactive stuff. The interior, lighting, all the sounds do reflect its dark atmosphere of the writer's biography and his vision of the Prague. Mysterious city!

johnlemonDecember 15, 2016Interesting if you've read some of his books. Quite small, most of the stuff is in german (without translation) since he wrote in german.
