Every full hour the head gets moving. Make sure you see it. It's worth it.

Explore The K - Rotating Head of Franz Kafka

The Head of Franz Kafka, also known as "K," is a kinetic sculpture by David Černý located in Prague, Czech Republic. Standing at 10.6 meters tall and made of 42 rotating stainless steel panels, this unique artwork captures the essence of the Bohemian writer Franz Kafka. While some critics argue that it's more of an advertising gimmick for a nearby mall, others appreciate its complexity and changing form over time, which they believe reflects Kafka's work. Overall, the sculpture adds a modern twist to Kafka's legacy in the bustling streets of Prague.
