A quick ride to history.. if you have read books by Franz Kafka you would definitely be intrigued. Well built and interactive.

The unique space of the Herget Brickworks in the Lesser Town on the bank of the Vltava River is home to a museum which exhibitions offers insight into the world of Prague-born Franz Kafka (1883–1924), one of the most important figures in 20th century world literature. The exhibition features most of the first editions of Kafka's works, correspondence, diaries, manuscripts, photographs and drawings that have never been displayed before.
An awful museum: just few facsimiles and reprinted old photographs, no personal items or goods. Nothing to see and pay for. Great disappointment for me. It is much better to walk streets Kafka used to walk, to visit houses he lived in and the cemetery he was buried. And to read his amazing prose, of course!
Do not waste your money. Incredibly, there is nothing original about Kafka inside this museum. Just long texts that you could comfortable read sit at home and badly displayed replicas. The most interesting thing to see here it two urinating statues outside, which are free!
Such a boring place to spend some time and money. Its a place for persons completely into history and historical facts, if not then please please please DO NOT spend your time and money for such a small museum and really tiny space which includes lots of writing and less memorials.
wow, what an exhibition! so well put together. everything was great from the start to the end. I really loved the short movies, especially the one for The Castle. So so stunning. I was amazed by everything the whole time. I'm really grateful I had the opportunity to visit this place as that was my first time ever in Prague and get to know this city by Kafka's eyes as he's one of my favourite artists ever. The exhibition showed his genius through everything, his struggles, love, influence, history and all the most beautiful things. I loved it so much, not gonna lie I got emotional while being there;) thank you so much!
Memorable experience, yet nor big. More like scripts display and some film documentary . Seem time to read slowly. More into those who likes Kafka or at least knew him before. To be honest, I was looking forward more to it.
This small, dark museum is truly for the Kafka fanatics. While many of the documents are facsimiles, this museum is well curated and tells the entire story of Kafka's life, shedding new light on his upbringing, friends, challenges, and emotions. Just a note: this museum starts on the second floor (roof level) of a small, old building, and there is no air conditioning - we were here at the peak of summer during a heat wave and it was quite hot. This museum has beautifully preserved first editions of his major works, and as a publishing professional, they were such a joy to see.
