Overview
The World of Franz Kafka is an immersive exhibition located in the atmospheric, romantic basement of the Prague City Council, just a short walk from the site of the author's birth. Rather than a conventional museum, it functions as a surrealist sensory experience where two different architectural styles meet to house 54 monitors. These screens, along with layers of rumble and sound, create a continuous, non-linear environment without a distinct beginning or end. Guests are encouraged to experience the work as an intellectual space where ordinary logic and questions often lack answers, reflecting the author's own perspective on existence.
