K-A-V-K-A, PRAGUE

‘We believe that art, even in the form of beautiful books, is part of the national cultural heritage and should be part of everyone’s lives.’ 

In the heart of the hometown of Franz Kafka (1883-1924) you will find K-A-V-K-A, a gallery and a bookstore. David de Goede: ‘An elegant store, beautifully decorated. Books on art and culture, architecture, photography, are attractively displayed. “Not quantity but quality.” I thought. Friendly employees share compelling stories about the store. They also operate a small publishing house.’
