Upcoming Cultural Events

Franz Kafka is regarded as one of the outstanding writers of 20th-century literature. Over a period of two decades, he wrote several works that continue to influence writing styles and artistic creation to this day. Kafka derived his inspiration from the circumstances of his own life, and the cultural and professional environment in which he lived. This Gallery Talk will focus on Kafka’s literary legacy, connecting it to his life in Prague, his social circle, and Jewish subjects that increasingly engaged his attention.

The Gallery Talk will be held in the new exhibition at the National Library, Kafka: Metamorphosis of an Author

This Gallery Talk is sponsored by Rosalie and Richard Alter, in memory of their dear friend David Kolitz

Every day new materials enter our collections, each year adding up to tens of thousands of printed volumes, hundreds of thousands of archival documents and photographs, and terabytes of digital materials. Every item tells a unique story; taken together, they enrich our understanding of ourselves, our region, and humanity as a whole. The NLI's five main collections – Judaica, Israel, Islam and Middle East, General Humanities, and Music – reflect these intersecting circles of inquiry. 

The gallery talk is an invitation to view the Library’s most recent and valuable acquisitions and offers a glimpse into the vast storehouse of treasures held within.
